that he was the role model and he acted like it. James never cried in front of

Poems usually begin with words or phrase which appeal more because of their
sound than their meaning, and the movement and phrasing of a poem. Every poem
has a texture of sound, which is at least as important as the meaning behind the

natural phenomena: the beating of a heart, the lapping of waves against the
