John Greenleaf Whittier

What some of our readers thought..."The whole poem consists of just a single sentence, but a very complex one, loaded with both independent and subordinate clauses and participial phrases... Following his admirable example of gentle tolerance, I forgive his dangling participles." (Leonard Wilson); "Kudos to the poet for writing about forgiveness and mortality in a graveyard without letting any gods elbow in!" (Jason Mills) (Summary by David Lawrence)
