Death, be not proud

This is not my favorite poem mainly because of the English. I can never pronounce those words perfectly. The worst part is I miss the main point of the poem trying to ready the (thou, dost , thee, canst...) words. However, good thing I gave up on the pronunciation, now I know that the poem means something, something about not being afraid of death, not making it a big deal.

  1. I agree that this poem did not make much sense to me either, but what I think one could take from the story depending on how you look at it, maybe far fetched but that death can not be proud because one day we will beat death and death will no longer win against us. Like I said a little far out there but maybe a possibility of one way one can read the poem.

  2. I agree Frey, poems are difficult to understand especially when it's in old English. TWIN your English has already improved:)

  3. I think the message the author tried to convey was that one day everyone will have to face death. It's all about how you take it though. In my opinion one should live life to the fullest, but still should have set morals that they go by.
