"The Bridge of Sighs" by Thomas Hood (poetry)

[vwgosrani]

I think this poem was in English Literature part of First Year Arts Students at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai in 1955/1956.

stupid heartless mockery of a woman posing as a poem, with the help of some eye-catching paintings! the only great thing about this video is the paintings of the women. pompous rhyming makes the poem even more heartless. an impassive recitation finally puts the last nail on the coffin and buries the poem, never to be resurrected again by most women, I would guess:)

@ritubahar That an over-reactiion. I covered most it in the notes. It proved very popular in its day and he meant well. He was a humanitarian How can rhymes be pompous anyway?
