| Summary | "The Old Arm-Chair" by Eliza Cook is a heartfelt poem likely written during the late 19th century. This work falls into the category of poetry and explores themes of nostalgia, love, and the deep emotional connection to cherished memories. The poem encapsulates the author's reflections on an old armchair, emblematic of maternal affection and the passage of time. In the poem, the speaker expresses profound love for an old armchair that holds sentimental value, primarily because it was where their mother sat, taught them essential life lessons, and ultimately passed away. The imagery highlights the bond between the speaker and their mother, depicting moments of childhood joy, religious guidance, and the inevitable sorrow of loss. As the speaker reminisces, they articulate both the comfort and pain associated with this piece of furniture, ultimately underscoring the enduring impact of maternal love and the memories associated with it.
