While Knoxvillians vigorously defended their city, Gunther's comments nevertheless sparked discussions regarding the city's unsightliness and its blue laws.

As a legacy of a sea that once covered the area in Devonian times, a great deal of clay underlies Guckheim, having also been quarried for decades in the immediate vicinity. After clay quarrying is finished, affected areas are recultivated. The quarrying leaves typical traces on the land, such as loss of surface vegetation, unsightliness, and recultivation perceived as inadequate, which have been publicly controversial for years in Guckheim. In the past, there has also been limited brown coal mining (first mentioned in documents in 1746, lasted until 1847) and basalt quarrying (until 1928).

David A. Campbell, Greek Lyric Poetry, Bristol Press (1982), page xxv Mimnermus employs the internal rhyme in the pentameter lines 2 () and 4 (). Here is the same poem paraphrased in English to imitate the rhythms of an elegy, with half-rhymes employed in the same lines 2 (far...for) and 4 (youth...bloom): ::What is life, what is sweet, if it is missing golden Aphrodite? :::Death would be better by far than to live with no time for ::Amorous assignations and the gift of tenderness and bedrooms, :::All of those things that give youth all of its covetted bloom, ::Both for men and for women. But when there arrives the vexatiousness :::Of old age, even good looks alter to unsightliness ::And the heart wears away under the endlessness of its anxieties: :::There is no joy anymore then in the light of the sun; ::In children there is found hate and in women there is found no respect.
