Loneliness in Mr. Flood's Party
We've all seen him -- the aged man, alone in his lst years, living on memories and an occasional trip into a bottle. Eben Flood, the main and only character in "Mr. Flood's Party," written by Edwin Arlington Robinson, is that aged man. He has a past that no one in town really remembers, except him.
