Anna Seward, "Written in the Blank Page of the Sorrows of Werther" (1792)
O thou, who turnest this impassioned leaf,
Where Anguish claims the sympathetic grief,
If no relentless prejudice can bind
In stagnant frost the mercy of thy mind;
If thou shalt guess how hard to inflict the smart
Of icy absence on the glowing heart,
When all that charm'd the sense, th' affection won,
Dwells in that form, which prudence bids us shun;
That present, soothes each rankling woe to rest,
Departed, desolates the languid breast,
Then thou'lt lament, amidst thy virtuous blame, The wretched victim of a baneful flame, Where ill-starr'd Love its deadliest lightning shed On the pale Suicide's devoted head, And woes, that would no holier thought allow, Threw ghastly shadows on the bleeding brow. Still, as thou weep'st their unresisted powers, The virtues of the lost-one's happier hours Shall o'er his fatal errors gently rise, Live in thy heart, and consecrate thy sighs! And for the soft compassion thou hast shown For woes and frailties, to thy soul unknown

Presentation Followup to selected poems by Anna Seward
After discussing the biographical information that I found on Sewardnamely, her father's suppression of her poetry, her significant experience with Honora Sneyd, and her loss of several family members-I began to apply that information to my interpretation of Seward's writing. When I asked the class why Seward's letter to George Harding is notably more expressive and rebellious than her sonnets, Eric remarked that it was a matter of different formal aspects of each genre. Because Seward does not need to work around the Cartesian model in her letter writing and she is not limited to a 14-line form, she can naturally be more expressive in her letters. Therefore, what I had originally viewed as a female writer's intimidation in a traditionally male arena, was perhaps largely due to the different formal natures of two genres. This led me to view the sonnets with greater sensitivity for moments of contained rebellion . For instance, as Rick pointed out, Sonnet IX is quite rebellious in terms of its idea of homoeroticism: "Narcissus pining on the watry shore," and Seward does make reference to Lesbia. With this in mind, I began to consider the possibility that Seward is aware of and drawing from a feminist poetic tradition, one beginning with Sappho... Perhaps her sonnets are less conservative than I originally saw them; after all, she does modify the Shakespeareanarrangement by writing two quatrains, followed by two, three-lined units, instead of the traditional three quatrains, followed by a rhyming couplet.

Poems By Anna Seward (1810)
"Eyam"
For one short week I leave, with anxious heart,
Source of my filial cares, the Full of Days,
Lur'd by the promise of Harmonic Art
To breathe her Handel's soul-exalting lays.
Pensive I trace the Derwent's amber wave,
Foaming through umbrag'd banks, or view it lave
The soft, romantic vallies, high o'er-peer'd
By hills and rocks, in savage grandeur rear'd.
Not two short miles from thee, can I refrain
Thy haunts, my native EYAM, long unseen?
Thou and thy lov'd inhabitants, again Shall meet my transient gaze.Thy rocky screen, Thy airy cliffs I mount; and seek thy shade, Thy roofs, that brow the steep, romantic glade; But, while on me the eyes of Friendship glow, Swell my pain'd sighs, my tears spontaneous flow. In scenes paternal, not beheld through years, Nor view'd, till now, but by a Father's side, Well might the tender, tributary tears, From keen regrets of duteous fondness glide! Its pastor, to this human-flock no more Shall the long flight of future days restore! Distant he droops,and that once gladdening eye

Autumn Leaves
Behold that tree in autumn's dim decay,
Stripped by the frequent chill and eddying wind;
Where yet some yellow lonely leaves we find
Lingering and trembling on the naked spray,
Twenty, perchance, for millions whirled away!
Emblemalas too just!of human kind:
Vain man expects longevity, designed For few indeed; and their protracted day What is it worth that wisdom does not scorn? The blasts of sickness, care, and grief appal, That laid the friends in dust, whose natal morn Rose near their own!and solemn is the call; Yet, like those weak, deserted leaves forlorn, Shivering they cling to life and fear to fall.
Written in the Blank Page of the Sorrows of Werther
O thou, who turnest this impassioned leaf, Where Anguish claims the sympathetic grief, If no relentless prejudice can bind In stagnant frost the mercy of thy mind; If thou shalt guess how hard to inflict the smart Of icy absence on the glowing heart

    Anna Seward (1747-1809): Poems on Female Friends
    from Llangollen Vale
    inscribed to the Right Honourable Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Ponsonby
    Seward's poem is about two famous lady friend's who lived in the Welsh town of Llangollen. The Valle Crucis referred to is a ruined medieval monastery in area.
    lines 84-234
    Now with a vestal lustre glows the Vale,
    Thine, sacred Friendship, permanent as pure;
    In vain the stern authorities assail,
    In vain persuasion spreads her silken lure,
    High-born, and high-endow'd, the peerless twain, Pant for coy Nature's charms 'mid silent dale, and plain. Thro' ELEANORA, and her ZARA s mind, Early tho' genius, taste, and fancy flow'd, Tho' all the graceful arts their powers combin'd, And her last polish brilliant life bestow'd, The lavish promiser, in youth's soft morn, Pride, pomp, and love, her friends, the sweet enthusiasts scorn. Then rose the fairy palace of the Vale, Then bloom'd around it the Arcadian bowers; Screen'd from the storms of Winter, cold and pale, Screen'd from the fervours of the sultry hours

    Anna Seward
    (1747 - 1809) U.K.
    Poet Born as the eldest daughter in the village of Eyam, Derbyshire, to Thomas Seward who was a rector there, and was to become the Canon of Lichfield. Anna, known as the "Swan of Lichfield", never married and looked after her father until his old age. Anna had a series of intense involvements with women, beginning with her foster sister Honora Seyd who entered the Seward household when Anna was 13, and became Anna's closest companion after the death of her sister Sarah in 1763. Anna was deeply affected by Honora's marriage to Richard Lovell Edgeworth in 1773, and went into mourning for the loss of her friend. Anna attended Lady Anne Miller's literary circle in Batheaston, beginning to write in her mid-thities. She had close friendships with Penelope Weston and Elizabeth Cornwallis, and was a correspondent of the Ladies of Llangollen. She furnished Boswell with many details of Dr Johnson's early life. In 1802 she wrote an admiring letter to Sir W. Scott, who found some merit in her poetry and edited her works in 3 volumes with a memoir, in 1810, at her suggestion. Her letters were published in 1811. After almost two hundred years of neglect, her poetry is now more favourably acknowledged and is beginning to reappear in Romantic anthologies. A monument to Anna Seward, the Swan of Lichfield, can be found in the Cathedral. Excerpts from: Gabriele Griffin

    Anna Seward ) was an English writer, often called the "Swan of Lichfield." She was the elder daughter of Thomas Seward (1708-1790), prebendary of Lichfield and Salisbury , and author. Born at Eyam in Derbyshire , she passed nearly all her life in Lichfield, beginning at an early age to write poetry partly at the instigation of Dr. Erasmus Darwin . Her verses include elegies and sonnets, and she also wrote a poetical novel, Louisa, of which five editions were published. Miss Seward's writings, which include a large number of letters, are decidedly commonplace, and Horace Walpole said she had " no imagination, no novelty." Sir Walter Scott edited her Poetical Works in three volumes (Edinburgh, 1810); to these he prefixed a memoir of the authoress, adding extracts from her literary correspondence. He refused, however, to edit the bulk of her letters, and these were published in six volumes by A. Constable as Letters of Anna Seward 1784-1807 (Edinburgh, 1811). Miss Seward also wrote Memoirs of the Life of Dr Darwin (1804). See E. V. Lucas, A Swan and her Friends (1907); and S. Martin, Anna Seward and Classic Lichfield (1909).
