Sep 10– Poems by Oliver Wendell Holmes
Summary: Four very different poems
Commentary: "Old Ironsides" is definitely the best of the four (which makes sense, since it was the featured one in 15MAD). Just a good old fashioned badass-ship poem. "The Chambered Nautilus" could probably drop a stanza, but was decent.
"The Last Leaf" and "Contentment" would've been rather tired, even in the 1800s. How many poems about old age and nature do we need?
