Default Punishment

I never quite warmed up to him, but I want to like him more. I always thought that this was outstanding though. What I admire is that though the woman found in the bog is described in passionate detail, and it's so horribly sad, the poem is really about the speaker. And it's, unfortunately, bound to be relevant.
