"Life is not a vision nor a prayer, but stubborn work." Capturing the essence of the struggle and beauty of hard work for a good, ordinary life, Emma Lazarus breathes new life into the daily grind, into the "woman's work" that is never done. This beautiful text elevates work, personifies her as an industrious woman, and brings her forward in elegance and strength without romanticizing her. And yet, we finish the third stanza and close out this choral setting, we are inspired to "fill our days with duties done" and to enjoy when "strange vigor comes," and we are "restored to health."
