To Mary Ann Evans
Author of Adam Bede
Praise to you, Mary Ann Evans,
shame you had to call
yourself George,
Adam or Seth a better name?
No, a better name—
Mary Ann Evans.
Brilliant author, mirrored
the human race in those ladies,
born of different seeds,
Dinah, chosen by Heaven,
Hetty of the shallow heart,
infected with envy, covet.
You understood the world,
the way it allows natures
to bend or shine,
as if the naked Empress
rules the human race.
