I thought the mother was torn between protecting her calm, serene life and letting her moaning spirit carry her off with this potentially dangerous and passionate woman.✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-20596414315274714952012-06-26T10:10:36.116-04:002012-06-26T10:10:36.116-04:00"She put her hand to her mouth when she saw m..."She put her hand to her mouth when she saw me.<br />She stood between me and her child,<br />Between calm sanity and a wandering, moaning spirit."<br /><br />You tricked me here, I think, so at first I didn't see that the rider was the "wandering moaning spirit" who must define or burn. And despite vacating, the moan is hard: "Is there an opium for this kind of ache? / Is there a stall for my horse? / A bed for me?" AND then the possibility of redemption!!! So the rider is also "calm sanity" having passed the borderline of the defined.<br /><br />How Amazingly structured to make a reader feel! What a story! Too common an experience.
