"Stark Major" studies the consequences of a cultivated irresponsibility toward the past. The poet dissociates himself from his former role as lover; it is the death of that role, then, that is referred to in the first line. From that point on, the experience which had been a coherent single reality breaks apart. Interestingly, it is the light of day which begins this process. [...]. He looks at the world with "broken eyes," because his life has lost its redeeming illusion of coherence and objectivity. [His lover's] has not; therefore, her memory is greater. It still holds her pains and joys together in a single fiction. The poem is composed in "stark major" (major keys are affectively "bright," minor ones "dark") to express the violent effect of clarity upon experience.

Interesting... se eu fosse ciêntista e o meu inglês fosse FLUENTE serias com certeza um dos meus "objectos de estudo" favoritos.

Eu estava podre de sono e confesso q até despertei.
