Phoebe Carry has beautifully explained a very
important significance of human nature. She has portrayed and explained it in one of her poems that is "A legend of the Northland".
In this poem, she has introduce a story of a saint whose name is Saint Peter and a little women. The Little Women was making cakes in her cottage. In the meantime the Saint came to her house. He was too much hungry because he used to deliver the holy sermons everywhere . So Saint Peter beg for some pieces of cake but the woman refuses to keep him everytime. She things that whenever she wants to give it to him, it becomes a bigger one. She thinks when she tries to have it for herself then it is a small piece but when she attempts to give it to anyone else it becomes a large one. She says : " My cakes that seem too small when I eat of them myself. Are yet too large to give away." Here is a vigorous significance of human psychology.

It may be our food , it may be any others thinks but when we already have it, we don't know of feel its significance. We think it's so small and it's nothing.
We must acknowledge from this poem that what we have is not so insignificant or simple. Any tiny thing may have tremendous significance or importance . We have to careful about it from now.
At the end of this poem, we come to know that the after getting angry several times, the saint gives the Little Women curse and her life becomes ruine.
