BITTER EXPERIENCE, by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: How often, in this cold and bitter world Last Line: There are too many such! Alternate Author Name(s): L. E. L.; Maclean, Letitia | ||||||||
HOW often, in this cold and bitter world, Is the warm heart thrown back upon itself! Cold, careless, are we of another's grief; We wrap ourselves in sullen selfishness: Harsh-judging, narrow-minded, stern and chill In measuring every action but our own. How small are some men's motives, and how mean! There are who never knew one generous thought; Whose heart-pulse never quickened with the joy Of kind endeavour, or sweet sympathy. -- There are too many such! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FELICIA HEMANS by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE CASTLE OF CHILLON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE FACTORY; 'TIS AN ACCURSED THING! by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE FEMALE CONVICT by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON THE MARRIAGE VOW by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A CHILD SCREENING A DOVE FROM A HAWK, BY STEWARDSON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A COMPARISON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A GIRL AT HER DEVOTIONS, BY NEWTON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A HISTORY OF THE LYRE by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON A LADY'S BEAUTY by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON |
