"Huswifery"

     In a poem that we read this week by Edward Taylor, a man from Puritan Times writes about his dear, loving wife, who serves as his connection to God. The speaker is the author of the poem, Edward Taylor. The poem was written in Puritan Times, when colonizing into the Americas was beginning to become a trend. All who came to America were allowed to belive in any Christian faith they wanted, which essentially is the reason why Puritan faith was so popular at the time. In an appreciative tone, Taylor addresses both his love towards God and his wife, while informing the reader of the clear bondhe creates between the two.
     Throughout the poem, Taylor explains the process of his wife making clothes for him. He starts by saying how his wife makes thread with the spinning wheel, showing her love towards her husband as well as God. He later explains how she weves the thread together in order to create a cloth. Though he mentions how colorful the cloth is, one can assume that his idea of colorful of different shades of bland colors, since those types of monotonous colors were the fashion at the time. He  finishes off my saying that he now has a "holy robe" which his wife knit with her love towards God in mind. This makes the bridge between him and God, which seves as a great aspect to any Puritan man at the time.
