by Elizabeth Stoddard

Elizabeth Stoddard's poetry explores the yearning for freedom and an idealized life, free from societal constraints. Her verses convey a sense of entrapment in the mundane world, a longing for transcendence, and a profound empathy for humanity's struggles. These poems, written in the late nineteenth century, offer a glimpse into the poet's vision of a world where individuals can truly flourish.
