Analysis and comments on Silence by Marianne Moore

If her father really said this, then kudo! The wit in this poem is fantastic. Any parent trying to encourage their children to "leave the nest" should remember to call the house an inn. This poem reads like a proverb--wise sayings. It's like taffy--just waiting to be pulled apart and savored.
