I feel the speaking voice in the poem has universalized his feelings by making us as readers feel the same vibes of nostalgia and innocence of infantile life faraway from the inescapable clutches of materialistic life of the elderly people
That’s quite the poem. We’re all super grateful for your reading, the historical facts and breakdown. Also, I apologize as this is a wee bit off topic but I was wondering if you, @iswearenglish, could cover the proper use of the words who/whom and whoever/whomever. I often get confused as to when which one is appropriate in a sentence. Anyways, alohas everyone and have a blessed day.
I like to think of the poem as describing two women. The first is a potential lover, and the narrator is prepared to seduce her (or perhaps to be seduced). But memory intervenes when he is reminded of his mother. His "manhood" is then cast down. Rather than follow through with the seduction, he weeps like a child. The woman at the piano probably believes she is having this effect on him, but he is a victim of his memory and he can no longer "perform" as a man. Lots of wordplay here.
