Woman Of The Wrinkled Brows Comments

You identified this poem as a poem about aging. and it certainly illustrates that in the woman's appearance and behavior. It is also a sharp, incisive character sketch of an old woman, seemingly in search of something. She has probably forgotten the object of her search but the search still goes on, a tribute to the energy which animates her aged being. Her unwillingness to surrender to fatigue or futility are an inspiration. (A character in Orson Welles's film CITIZEN KANE says, OLD AGE IS THE ONLY DISEASE YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE CURED OF.)

Aging a great disease with no medicine a nice poem thank you
