" 'Mary, ain't you tired of this?' could refer to Mary Magdalene, a
controversial figure in Christianity who some believe to have been a
prostitute. However, who is to say the nature of her sin was wrong? Once
we can accept her sexuality, we can forget the age old speculation
pertaining to the puritan heritage and Christianity to begin with: that
sexuality relating to the human body is wrongful."
--written by the student S.H. in poetry class, explaining reasons why she/he is choosing a certain poem to dissect for his/her paper
I thought that was unusually insightful.
