A bluestocking is a studious and literary woman. An informal dress of worsted woollen stockings became known as "bluestocking". In the 18th century a Bluestocking Society was formed by Elizabeth Montague. It was stated that "Women don't become bluestockings until men have grown tired of looking at their legs."



*

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.
