To My Mother Comments

The idea of motherland and motherhood have been juxtaposed in a perceptive manner.

This is such a great parallel to 'The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd, as Lily loses her own mother and finds a new one in many different women. Definitely using this for my essay on the novel!

Agreed! Great explanation!

Wow, so nice. i love it

I hope his wife follows the same logic. This is how love is extended and appreciated.

@L J i believed there is three concept to put into account here: 1. My mother- my own mother, who died early- this is to say persona lost his mother and someone else took care of him. But, who? but you Are mother to the one I loved so dearly his grandma. Then what? By that infinity with which my wife Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life After leaving his grandma he married a mother of his children; I mean a wife. In short he his expressing his appreciation to MOTHERS for taking care of him and the love they have for male Species.

I agree David and truly to love your spouse then you must love your spouses mother as much, to know the child is to know the mother and to love the child is to love the mother.. a most fabulous write

I have to be honest... I don't really understand this poem. Can someone explain to me what he's saying?

The logic and the way it is presented in the poem is absolutely profound.
