Richard Cory Poem

First of all.... we're not sure exactly what or who the "we" is. We might possibly mean a group of people, it might also mean an individual speaker who speaks for the group. The group or individual speaking find Richard Cory to be an enigma..... they're not his friends or people that actually know him..... they're people who look up to and respect him..... possibly these people are impressed by his wealth, his looks, and his status.
