Mountain Graveyard

The tone of a “Mountain Graveyard” and the diction of Robert Morgan An almost barren area left contained within a palace of ever-growing, watchful giants. Lying alone visited seldom, becoming a mystery, a cell, or even a shrine to those who know of its existence. Feelings abound hidden in the secluded section of the forest. They range from love to hate, desire to abandonment, sorrow to joy all caused by what dwells there…no, but …

…of life on average, mellow. In conclusion, Robert Morgan’s word choices and written tone leaves the reader in a sense of emptiness and fulfillment much like that of his poem which divides from one extreme to the other. Leaving the reader in the perfect situation after reading, and that being of contempt. Works Cited Morgan, Robert. “Mountain Graveyard” The Bedford Introduction to Literature. Ed. Michael Myer.
