The purpose of poetry is to remind ushow difficult it is to remain just one person, for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors, and invisible guests come in and out at will.

About This Quote

In the play “The Glass Menagerie,” Tennessee Williams wrote a scene about a family that is very much like our own. In the play, the family is struggling to stay together as they try to overcome their problems. In one scene, Tom, Laura and Amanda are sitting in a room talking about their family. Amanda says, “When we were children, we thought we were going to live forever.

But now we know better. We know that nothing lasts for ever, but only as long as it lasts." This quote shows how someone's life can change a lot in a short amount of time. This quote shows how what was once great is no longer great and how you can't keep up with things like that.
