MEMORY'S MANSION

Series: The Englishman and Other Poems

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The poem explores the idea that memories shape our identity and are a vital part of who we are. The speaker describes Memory's Mansion as a grand, labyrinthine structure filled with rooms, corridors, and chambers, each containing a distinct memory from their past. These memories are personified as tangible objects, such as "ghostly pictures" and "forgotten melodies," that the speaker can revisit and relive at will. AI Generated Content
