Any reaction is better than no reaction, particularly given that the father is dying ... this is the "rage against the dying of the light" poem, isn't it?
I was never really big on poetry per se (despite having been an english major, briefly) but I was a Beauty and the Beast fan, so poetry reading, particularly romantic poetry, was kind of mandatory.
What do I know. My favorite poem is "Death of the Ball-Turret Gunner."
