1. Can you picture a woman
like the one in this poem? In your imagination, is she seen in slow
motion, with soft-focus? And with what background music?
2. This poem, as well
as some sonnets and courtly love poetry you are going to read, has
woman as the object of the poets' love, adoration and idealistic
description. How is this woman different from the women
characters you have read so far (e.g. Lady Bracknell, Gwendolen and
Cecily in The Importance of Being Earnest,
Emily in "A Rose for Emily," etc.)?
