"Edson’s vivid portrayal of the urban area, as well as the working class and underclass, creates a vision of Saint John that highlights the discrepancy between the pre-modern idyllic notion of life in Atlantic Canada and the more complicated reality of the region."-The New Brunswick Literary Encyclopedia
From the Amazing Leonard Cohen, the greatest of the Canadian poets (well, maybe tied with Alden Nowlan, but that ain't too shabby)...
SORROWS OF THE ELDERLY
The old are kind.
The young are hot.
Love may be blind.
Desire is not.
