God in Woman
God in Woman - meaning Summary
Divine Feminine in Everyday Life
The poem presents a speaker’s search for God not in institutions or heroic figures but in ordinary women and everyday kindness. God is imagined as feminine: generous, nurturing, and expressed through small acts of care and praise. The speaker contrasts women’s consoling spirit with men’s resentful tragic light, suggesting spiritual revelation comes through women and the poet’s personal experience of their sustaining influence.
Read Complete Analyses‘Now must I search until I have found my God - Not in an orphanage. He hides In no humanitarian disguise, A derelict upon a barren bog; But in some fantastical ordinary incog: Behind a well-wrapped convent girl’s eyes, Or wrapped in middle-class felicities Among the women of the coffee-shop. Surely my God is feminine, for Heaven Is the generous impulse, is contented With feeding praise to the good. And all Of these that I havve known have come from women. While men the poet’s tragic light resented, The spirit that is Woman caressed his soul.
