“It is probably an instance of the poet's blindness to the sensual, that
he is often represented as having a peculiar sympathy with the fallen
woman. He feels that all beauty in this world is forced to enter into
forms unworthy of it, and he finds the attractiveness of the courtesan
only an extreme instance of this. Joaquin Miller's The Ideal and the
Real is an allegory in which the poet, following ideal beauty into
this world, finds her in such a form. The tradition of the poet
idealizing the outcast, which dates back at least to Rossetti's
Jenny, is still alive, as witness John D. Neihardt's recent poem,
A Vision of Woman [Footnote: See also Kirke White, TheProstitute;

Joaquin Miller. Bio and selected poems by the "Poet of the Sierras" who built a log cabin on Meridian Hill (on what is now Malcolm X Park in DC) and shocked proper Washingtonians with rough tales of the California frontier. His cabin, now moved to Rock Creek Park, is the site of a summer poetry series sponsored by the Word Works Press and the National Park Service, coordinated by Jacqueline Potter. Though dated, his poems are of historical interest. Site sponsored by the Central California Poetry Journal.
