Spoon River Anthology 3
One of the poems that I found interesting was Mrs. Sibley. In her poem it’s just describing the blatent truths behind everthing like earth- rock, stars-gravitation, etc. However, the thing that seemed to intregue me the most was when she said, “My secret: Under a mound that you shall never find.” The reason why this brief poem seems to hold so much meaning is that I can relate it to my life. One of the biggest mysteries isn’t the physical world, but more or so the human mind. The human mind seems to be one of the biggest mysteries of all. The will of a human being can seem so spiratic than anything witnessed in nature. I love it how “secrets” are compared with such cosmic things as the sun and earth.
