In the Movie “The Fighting 69th”, there is a scene where a hard-boiled recruit confronts Joyce about being a poet, and also about his name. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
Anyway, because the poem cites God’s unique role in Creation, I wonder if it is even taught in public school anymore.
I’d be surprised if “Trees” is still required reading and/or memorizing in public schools today because of the references to God.
Very sad that leftists have taken over the education of our young.
