Tintern Abbey has just fallen. The most beautiful poem that I have ever read in my life is no longer such. I was introduced to it by my father, which was part of the beauty if it, I did not know where he got it. Now I know, when he was not quite sober it slipped out. He got it from a girl he was dating who was majoring in English at the UofC. He was working for the law department of the city, and she had a summer job there. At that time he was already married to my mother. It is not that he did it that bothers me so much, it is his thoughts through it. How could he justify hurting another human being so much? It is the continuous lying about it which is so powerful. I am not sure why the poem fell because of this, but somehow it just does. This matters to me more than the whole divorce, the adultury, etc. I think that the poem was worth more, is worth more. -Delano |
