  • on To A Fish by James Henry Leigh Hunt, on November 3, 2006
    This is part of a series of poems. The other 2 are:
    A Fish Answers
    The Fish Turns Into a Man, and Then Into a Spirit, and Again Speaks

    Shouldn't they be grouped together for easier reference?

    Beautiful commentary on the poem.

  • on A Fisherman's Baby by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, on October 29, 2006

    Aaah..

    Babies should relax while their brains are still too small to hold problems.

    But why is it specifically a fisherman? All adults are care-stricken. Sure, it provides a soothing context to the poem...

  • on "Where Is Thy Brother?" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, on October 29, 2006
    And the Lord said unto Cain(after Cain murdered Abel), Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, "I know not; am I my brother's keeper?"
    Genesis 4:9

    Women, with painted cunning, are leading men astray.(according to the poem)
