[edit] "Not Waving but Drowning" characterization removed - needs source

"Not Waving but Drowning", which explores the fundamental isolation of the poet from her audience via the medium of a misapprehension relating to a swimmer dying at sea.

This seems to be one person's interpretation of the poem. I've read other, more believable interpretations, so I'm removing this until someone can provide a source where Smith specifically says this is her intended meaning for the poem. Teddywithfangs 03:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lady "Rogue" Singleton

I added this. I think that the poem is famous enough to deserve a mention.SmokeyTheCat 15:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
