"With eternal lids apart"
(Bright Star)
Halt! Halt what you're doing and listen to me. Actually, just read my text. This poem is a lover who is watching his beloved sleep. Boom roasted. A common phrase used for someone in love is that they have "stars in their eyes". The star in this story is given many human descriptions, such as an eternal lid apart, the capability of swooning and gazing, and many others. It is a clear as day, and the more I read the poem, the more I'm starting to think that my ah-ha moment wasn't that huge of an epiphany. Basically, I think this poem is about sex.
