The title also drew me in because I have a connection to the material‚ my father died when I was ten. Not many lines about the speaker’s father draw direct parallels to my father‚ but never the less I was drawn to the work and felt a since of deep melancholy as I read. This since of melancholy‚ even though the speakers father differs from my own‚ is largely due to the non-standard metaphors
