    T. S. Eliot; Marina- Beautiful but difficult poem. Looked for a analysis:https://poemanalysis.com/t-s-eliot/marina/
    Maybe the nautical imagery could also be related to the discovery of America: America as a dauther of the British Empire?

    re: Marina... good find

    re: Sea Rose... https://www.google.com/search?q=sea+...ih=570&dpr=1.1
    wikipedia: Sea rose
    Orphium is a plant genus in the Gentian family (Gentianaceae), endemic to South Africa. The name derives from the legendary Greek musician Orpheus. The genus contains a single accepted species, Orphium frutescens, commonly known as the sea rose.
    From the critique: "Clearly the ‘sea rose’ is an analogue, a metaphor. For the poet herself, perhaps, or for the poetry she writes? For both? The poem is delicate, fragile looking, spare, stoical, as if sculpted in air." - Enjoyed

    Thanks for the link on e e cummings. Interesting modernist poet, have to read more by him.

    Charming poem about books by Emily Dickinson. Identified but turned the feelings from my somewhat dusty library to my e-books.

    re: You are right. Thanksgiving Turkey is not such a great poem. Chose it more because of the theme.
