Dale Wimbrow wrote the poem The Man in the Glass in 1934. The poem's message is profound, and it serves as a sharp reminder that we will only be at peace with ourselves if we can look in the mirror every day and accept what we see. The Man in the Glass refers to an old English legend about a knight who was condemned to live forever in a glass castle because he could not find forgiveness for his sins. When you read this poem, you understand that the knight has been living forever without any hope of escape. But then one day a young maid breaks into the castle looking for a way out. She finds the knight in distress and helps him find forgiveness from God. After that, he lives happily ever after in the real world. Here is how the poem begins: "The man in the glass / I saw my face." This line tells us that the poet himself has looked into a mirror and sees someone he does not like. However, instead of fixing what is wrong with his character, he just walks away from it. This act causes him to lose touch with reality, because he thinks everyone else is doing the same thing as him. Later on in the poem, the knight looks into the mirror again and sees two men. One of them is happy, while the other one is sad. At first, he believes that these are two different people.
