Notes on a Prayer for Owen Meany Important Quotes Religious Quotes “When I would complain about the kneeling‚ which was new to me—not to mention the abundance of litanies and recited creeds in the Episcopal service—Owen would tell me that I knew nothing.

He Had Such Quiet Eyes By: Bibsy Soenharjo 3.1 SYNOPSIS OF THE POEM The poem is about a woman who has been deceived to think that she was loved by a man with ‘quiet eyes’. She suffers for this and only learns on hindsight not to trust or give in to men who seek women only for pleasure. The poet gives an advice on being able to recognise what is true and what is not‚ when a person is truly friendly and when he is not. You may lose in the game of love and give your heart away‚ but knowing the truth
