"Instructions on How to Play the Comb" by Katharine Rauk
This a sad poem describes a scene that Mrs. Delilah combs her hair lonely in an empty room. “comb” “hair” “grass” are three frequently used words in the poem. In my opinion, the comb is the bond between Mrs. Delilah and her son. Because every time Mrs. Delilah combs her hair, she is missing her son. What’s more, in some extent, the grass symbolizes the grass. Her son’s death (the death of body) leads to Mrs. Delilah’s spiritual death (the death of spirit). So Mrs. Delilah’s head just like her son’s grave. Therefore, Mrs. Delilah’s hair just like the grass on the grave. This is the explain of the sentence "Grass is the beautiful uncut hair of graves.” It is seen that Mrs. Delilah loves her son so much.
