Ballad Of Another Ophelia

Ballad of Another Ophelia

by D. H. Lawrence

The Ballad of Another Ophelia is a haunting and evocative poem that explores the themes of love, loss, and grief. The poem is told from the perspective of Ophelia, the tragic heroine from Shakespeare's Hamlet. In Lawrence's poem, Ophelia is not the passive victim of her circumstances, but a strong and independent woman who chooses her own destiny. The poem is a powerful and moving meditation on the human condition, and it is considered one of Lawrence's finest works.
