    vanity/ reveals?

    The title, which alludes to Snow White ("Mirror, mirror on the wall / Who in the land is fairest of all?, is effectively utilized as the opening line.

    The biblical allusion adds emotional weight to the poem.

    Hi Chen-ou,

    Vanity can mean "vain," but it is also a piece of furniture with a mirror. I won't say which reveals more...

    :) Thanks for your kind words.

    I read the opening with personification in mind:

    Vanity,
    reveal...
