" And it's still the same:
By night our windows
moth our children
to the flame"
This stanza to me meant that women always took care of their children, that was there role as a women in history. In the past women were not seen as individuals, they were always on the sideline. These pictures represent the roles women life by. Always protecting their children no matter what.
Lisa- this stanza is particularly difficult since it is so ambiguous. What do you feel the role of mothers are in this? Do you think the author is praising their actions in regards to their children or is she looking down at their actions? I encourage you to isolate this stanza and how the "moth" reference is being used. "Moth" is being used as a verb- what does that suggest?
