to the expression of strongest grief and the literariness.Conversely,the poetry works will be mainly to express admiration,supplemented by grief.When the mourning object is the poet's husband,the poet would express her thoughts of love and devotion.When the mourning object is the poet's wife,the poet would express his great grief as well as his admiration.When the mourning object is the poet's
