Analysis and comments on Five Flights Up by Elizabeth Bishop

Comment 1 of 1, added on February 3rd, 2005 at 11:24 AM.

This poem is reflecting our blindness to the world. I believe that it shows how if we stopped to just take things in, like the bird or the dog, we could have a much greater outlook on life than we do.
