Question
This woman’s charms are explained using Francis Bacon’s claim that there is “no exquisite beauty” without “some strangeness in the proportion.” This woman’s raven-black curls are called “hyacinthine” (“high-uh-SIN-thyne”), and her eyes are likened to the “gazelle eyes of the tribe of the valley of Nourjahad.” With her last breath, this woman quotes Joseph Glanvill’s statement that “Man doth not yield him to the angels” except due to his “feeble will.” A poem by this character describes “a blood-red thing that writhes from out / The scenic solitude!” After her death, this woman’s widower moves from a “decaying city by the Rhine” to an English abbey and marries Lady Rowena Trevanion of Tremaine. This woman writes that the “play is the tragedy, ‘Man,’” in her poem “The Conqueror Worm.” For 10 points, name this title woman, who takes over Rowena’s body in a story by Edgar Allan Poe. ■END■
