Crane
The truth hurts
Described as a Wanderer, Traveler, Nomad
On a quest - comes across a road, pathway to truth. It is thickly grown with weed
Each weed is a singular knife (Dangerous in tone) |

Robinson
Lives in Tilbury town with the other characters from Robinson’s poems
The name is a pun, commentary
Here- Richard is a King’s name, cory sounds like heart (King Richard “the Lion-Hearted”) in french and the word gory
True American Poetry - US revered money, looks, success during this time period
Surprise ending, he kills himself
He was the richest man in town
Imperial, emperor, all terms associated with monarchy and royalty, grace |

Robinson
Hates whatever season it is
Miserable at the present time, liked the past (Hates here & now, Loves there & then)
Unproductive, wants to go backwards
Mini-achiever, minimal contributor
Ends with the word drinking = to escape or to think |

Robinson
By the fire, 10 years together
Nothing bad, blessed because they are together, but there is something unspoken
They sit in silence, not happy, not unhappy
What if they were with someone else? |
