Richard Cory Comments

WHO KNEW? ? ? ?

Not all appearnaces are true, they can deceive! Brilliant poem. Congrats on Classic poem!

A tragic story told in eloquent finesse.....

A brilliant and vivid depiction that appearances are sometimes deceiving

Just like me

It just shows, one never knows... a deservedly well-known poem...

I have loved this poem since I first read it in high school many years ago. No one can truly know what is in another's heart regardless of outward appearances.

a poem you are not likely to forget. the moment i read it i knew he would be a favorite poet.

I'm not sure Mr Robinson's poem would be applicable to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide, at all.

I taught this poem in high school and I still like it very much. Richard Cory's suicide seems at odds with the precise rhymes and meter. Where people are concerned, appearances can be deceptive.

Shake me wake

My father, When mom left, he said one day that he would do it. In life, dad always kept his word.

I read this poem in junior high school in the early '60's. I rediscovered it when Simon and Garfunkel put it to music; I'm not sure which album, but it's certainly worth listening to.

I never forgot reading this poem when I was in High School,1958, thereabouts. The message remained with me, although I could not remember the author nor poem title. Yesterday, I heard Evangelist Begg recite ' Richard Cory'. Amazing.

The people wanted to be like Richard Corey. Be careful what you wish for. To walk in Richard’s shoes is to walk with unbearable suffering.

I am Richard Cory. Not rich, just expected to be strong and capable. So not

Someone once said, You need to be quite a juggler if you have a reputation to keep up and a reputation to live down.

A beautiful poem no doubt. A whole novel in a few verses. I lovit

The two recent suicides of the famous and successful people reminded me of this poem. We'll never know, hopefully, that feeling.

This is most important after the celebrity suicides recently.
