CarolynM 😂😣 That's laughing and cringing at the same time. I guess we have to make allowances for Katherine Mansfield 's time. (edited) 5y
erzascarletbookgasm True, @CarolynM I wasn‘t sure whether I should share this poem but like you said, times were different then. Just like if I read some of Enid Blyton books today, I‘ll cringe too. 😣 5y
CarolynM There's a short Banjo Patterson poem called Frying Pan's theology which I learnt as a child and still like even though it perpetrates a horrible stereotype. I like to think we can appreciate literature from the past while recognizing the shortcomings of the society it came from. No doubt the future will have similar problems with some of our attitudes and language. 5y
