Richard Cory

                                                                            Richard Cory
My first impression of "Ricard Cory" by Edwin Arlington was that I thought it was gonna be like one of those type of poems that are happy, humble. But I wonder why he killed himself? When I read at the end it was to happy to sad...  Sometimes we put on a mask to not really show how we feel..
