In short, realism reveals. Where we thought nothing worthy of notice, it shows everything to be rife with significance.

#Realism #Worthy #Significance
Realism sets itself at work to consider characters and events which are apparently the most ordinary and uninteresting, in order to extract from these their full value and true meaning.

Wherever I am, I see the yoke on women in some form or another. On some it sits easy for they are but beasts of burden. On others pride hushes them to silence; no complaint is made for they scorn pity or sympathy. On some it galls and chafes; they feel assured by every instinct of their nature that they were designed for a higher, nobler calling than to 'drag life's lengthening chain along.
Every poem breaks a silence that had to be overcome.
In the end itâ€™s all very simple. Either we give ourselves to Silence or we donâ€™t.
