The Look
Strephon kissed me in the spring,
Strephon kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.
Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,
Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
Haunts me night and day.
-- Sara Teasdale
uhmm.. One question?? If I kissed her, would she remember it?? ahahah.. I'm sure she will!! That's a once in a lifetime opportunity!..
The poem mentions three guys..
1.) Strephon
2.) Robin
3.) Colin
What do these guys have to do with this girl?? hahays.. If only these guys were not in the scene I won't have to do this required blog entry!!.. Anyways, I don't have a choice because there included..
Strephon and Robin, in my own analysis, are like suitors to the girl.. It is stated Strephon kissed her during the spring and robin during the fall.. It shows that the two guys loved the girl and they have showed their affection. The two different seasons were used to emphasize the different time intervals. The two guys admired the girl but then, according to my own interpretation, the girl didn't give the same affection towards the two guys..
It was evident in the poem that the girl forgot the kisses from Robin and Strephon.. Maybe this was because the kiss was insignificant for her.. There kisses were not to die for.. aheheh.. Either they were lame kissers or their kisses did not mean anything to her..
But that look! The plain, look was all that she can bare!.. It haunts her every night.. What was with that look?? Muta?? ahaha.. If I'm right Colin was the only man she ever loved.. The other boys gave her a kiss but she has forgotten about it. The stare from Colin meant a lot! He loved Colin but I think Colin did not like her.. Maybe because he doesn't like her at all or maybe because something is holding his love for her.. The stare maybe has some meaning in it.. A hidden mystery yet to be uncovered and that was what haunts the girl until now..
That look could only mean two things..
Either he likes her, or not!!
