Analysis and comments on Happiness by Amy Lowell

Comment 1 of 1, added on November 13th, 2004 at 1:08 PM.

This poem directly reflects the true state of our being as humans. We are
always searching for the elusive happiness - as Lowell states, "Happiness:
We rarely feel it. I would buy it, beg it, steal it, Pay in coins of
dripping blood For this one transcendent good." This poem has been viewed
1807 times, showing that people are interested in the concept of happiness.
There is a great book titled, "How we choose to be happy," and like this
poem, it is highly recommended.

Christi Savage from United States
