Analysis and comments on Honey At The Table by Mary Oliver

Comment 3 of 3, added on July 18th, 2006 at 10:39 PM.

I think one only gets this sensation with quality honey! I like how Oliver has the reader traveling back to the source--to make us understand that the honey was a process on many levels. Somehow I thought of amber and how the most prized ones are those that contain generous pieces of organic material.
I think I will buy some wild honey now, read this poem and just enjoy the simple pleasure.
