The Angel Of Pain Comments

FOUR: such beautiful and touching words,5 Stars and to my Favourites. Congratulations being chosen as The Classic Poem Of The Day.

THREE: The most beautiful and touching lines for me are the three last lines: The light of thy transfigured face Sudden shines out, and, speechless, they Know they have walked with Christ all day.

TWO: The poem is an excellent poem, beautifully worded, touching, as for the words about the angels. Sensitive and beautiful poem.

ONE: it is not surprising that the poetess wrote this poem about pain, for she herself suffered from severe pain, for she died of stomach cancer, those were severe pains from which she had suffered.

A lost angel with name helen hunted Jackson,

Reading Helen Hunt Jackson, for the first time... and I must say that her verses have depth and so much meaning.

A topic not addressed very often- -at least I haven't seen poems about the angel of pain. I'm still absorbing her thoughts on this- -my first reaction was negative but the more I sit here contemplating what she has said, the more I see what she is getting at. Definitely a poem I want to read again and again..

Inference drawn, Joy is my pal, pain a companion. Realities faced by majority wonderfully portrayed. Thanks for sharing it here.

Smile on me. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
