The old woman poem summary
This beautiful poem has been written by Joseph Campbell.The poet says that an old age has its own blessings and beauties.This age is also full of hardships and obstacles.An old woman is the beauty of a home just like a candle brings light to the place where it is lit her energy of life is exhausted as the winter sun which gives dim light.
She had faced many unpleasant experiences in life and now she is dormant and inactive. Moreover, her grown up children have also quiet her alone.
Her thoughts are mute and calm just like the waters under the ruined mill.
