I have never read a biographical poem before this beautiful offering of an experienced hand in matters of personal history.
The poet has given me an idea about writing a biography which I look forward to try with my family history. Well rendered, well received!

I enjoyed your interpretation of this image, and these doors could very well be dated back to 1704, I think they are likely to be french doors. These master craftsmen are long gone now as doors are made by machines. I enjoyed the history you created here about these doors, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

The objective correlative of your work reminisces an approximate dimension of the dictum: "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is grown up, he will not depart from it."

The work highlights in retrospect the son of Richard plying a carpentry trade with St Oliver; his coming forth as a faithful and dutiful apprentice, who abhors all other distractions except his trade; and as a corollary, the eventual evolution of a legacy of double hand carved doors bequeathed to succeeding generations of people in London.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of aesthetic cum behavioral anecdotes that are typical of excellence.

Excellent work. Bravo.
