oh what did I know?

In the poem "Those Winter Sundays" the narrator is talking about his dad getting ready for work. In the poem you get the feeling that the feeling towards the dad was one of slight resentment,yet at the same time you notice the feeling of regret the son has for not appreciating his dad. In the poem he asks "What did I know, what did I know of love's austere and lonely offices?" I believe that this repeating of what did I know twice makes it so that the reader could truly feel the sons agony and regret. By the way he wrote it you could almost hear him talking and you are able to feel the emotions in the poem.
