  • on To M. H. by Philip Gilbert Hamerton, on June 23, 2005
    This poem was written by him about his gaurdian, one of his aunts. His religion so he said was somewhat orthodox and his aunt was feeling the indignity of it from friends who had for years been there and now had stopped asking them to go to their homes.... Sad really that his religous beliefs drove a wedge between the family... He looked up to and adored his aunt, it hurt him immensly when she rebuffed his beliefs...
    Really does show his hurt... good write...............

  • on Sigh No More by William Shakespeare, on July 30, 2004
    Seems like shakespeare had a feminine side, most men wouldn't have known what he was talking about, I suppose his creative side came from his feminine side... whoops, sorry guys, only kidding.............. great poem.................

  • on To A Lady by Anna Laetitia Aikin Barbauld, on July 21, 2004
    This truly is a beautiful poem, the descriptions of love and showing of the emblems these flowers show, maybe if this were written today as we have many hardy flowers, then it would be very different maybe saying something like

    Flowers sweet, and gay, and hardy like you;
    Emblems of strength, and beauty too.
    Just a thought, brilliantly penned although I don't agree with what it says........................


  • on Mirror, Mirror by Spike Milligan, on July 21, 2004
    I have always liked Spike milligans work, it is telling us that maybe we all see but never look any deeper..........................
    Beauty is as they say only skin deep, inner beauty to me is more important than anything, without that you are shallow, this is how I saw this, a wonderful write..............................
