Exactly how steamy is this poem?
PG
Believe us when we say that "Richard Cory" is not a sexy poem. Other than some "fluttering pulses," we've got nothing in this poem that makes us think of sex.
That being said, we're gonna give this guy a PG for its deathly content. This poem isn't for the youngest among us. Though we think that if you can handle the death of Bambi's mom, you can probably handle the death of Richard Cory.
