Henry Longfellow chose the snowy mountains as a scene that represents intense grief. I think he chose this scene because the snowy scenes convey the meaning of sadness, and maybe his heart is cold and lonely like the tall mountains standing in solitude. I think images from nature that can represent grief or sorrow often involves coldness and bitterness. I think grief can also be represented by cloudy skies or rainy places. “Grief is a city where the sun never shines.” This metaphor compares the feeling of grief and regret with a city that will never have a bright day, and will always be sad and gloomy. I think grief is like the image I’ve chosen because when you are experiencing grief, you tend to be very unhappy and gloomy. Your mind is like a gray city, full of regret, sadness, and other unhappy thoughts. I think grief is a thought that is kind of special, because it’s not happiness, and not as strong as anger. It is a feeling that is somewhere between the two. Grief is often similar to regret, we have grief mostly because we regret something. We keep on thinking about that specific thing that make us regret, so our minds eventually gets filled with grief.
