Author's Note: We read two poems as a class: "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Field Below". They both had the same mood while reading them.
These poems both sound sad and have a sense of regret to them. In "Big Yellow Taxi", they paved paradise and put up a parking lot, which sounds sad. In "Field Below", they wish they could see a field below giving a sense of regret and sadness. The song of "Big Yellow Taxi" sounds energetic and happy almost, unlike the poem. However, the song of "Field Below" sounds the same. It has the sad and regretful feeling of the poem. I didn't expect "Big Yellow Taxi" to be a happy song just by reading the poem. I expected "Field Below" to sound sad though.
When you increase your knowledge, you see how little you know. You see how much you still have to learn. When you know a lot, you can say: "I know that I know nothing."
