Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote two poems based on Sleeping Beauty: Sleeping Beauty (1830) and The Day-Dream (1842)
In the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty, a princess is cursed by an evil fairy to sleep for a hundred years before being awakened by a handsome prince. In the Brothers Grimm version, the prince wakes Sleeping Beauty, named Rosamund, with a kiss. In the Disney version, Phillip enters the palace and goes up the highest tower to awaken Aurora with a kiss.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote two poems based on Sleeping Beauty: *Sleeping Beauty* (1830) and *The Day-Dream* (1842). The latter was an expanded version of the former, and was further altered in 1848 for a dramatic performance for a private gathering, in which Tennyson starred as the Prince. The poem begins by comparing the act of dreaming with the act of composing poetry:
> A summer crisp with shining woods.
Tennyson's *The Day-Dream* discusses the nature of sleeping and of dreaming, especially in relation to individuals that would want to escape from reality. The poem also compares the act of poetry with dreaming and asserts that the two are the same.

She graduated high school in 1910, taught for a year, and enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley in 1911. While at Berkeley, Davies won both the Bohemian Club prize and Emily Chamberlin Cook Prize for Poetry. She published several collections of poetry, including *Marriage Songs* (H. Vinal, 1923), *Youth Riding* (Macmillan, 1919), and *The Drums in Our Street: A Book of War Poems* (Macmillan, 1918).
