Ironic?
editYou say '...although the timing of this song renders it deeply ironic.' This is unexplained. What timing are we talking about? Valetude (talk) 17:51, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Irony is saying the opposite of what is the case. It may be ironic to say that all is right with the world when, at this time, all is not right with the world. Also, it would be ironic to say that God is in his Heaven when that would not be the case at this time.96.248.101.32 (talk) 19:09, 23 January 2018 (UTC)DeWayne Johnson
- Still don't understand about the reference to 'timing'. Is it to do with 1848, the Year of Revolutions? Valetude (talk) 10:58, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

I replaced this paragraph, which was unclear as well as unsourced, with a discussion of how critics have evaluated Pippa's role in the play. Gdr 20:28, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
"All's right with the world!"
editI cut a bunch of entries from the "Adaptations and influences" section that merely quoted or alluded to this famous line. A Google Books search finds hundreds of such quotations, so there's nothing notable about any one of them. We should only list works that have a stronger connection to Pippa Passes.
