The Look
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.
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.
The poem is just short right? But it means a lot. There is a meaning lying behind this poem by Sara Teasdale.
My interpretation on the poem was about a girl who had different boys in her past. It talks about the memories that were left by the boys she had. She had different relationships during her past and it was on different seasons which mean that it was changing.
Let us go first to Strephon. Maybe Strephon was her first boyfriend or love. Her relationship with this guy did not last because it was not at the right time. One memory that was left by Strephon was the kiss. But the kiss was just lost in the girl’s memory.
The next guy was Robin. He kissed the girl but it had not left anything towards the girl. He was just like Strephon.
And then came Colin. He did not kiss the girl but he only looked at the girl. The looked on Collin’s eyes left a big impact on the girl’s life. The kiss in Colin’s eyes haunts the girl day and night. But we cannot say that the man also likes her. There are two possibilities with the look on Colin’s eyes. It can be that he likes the girl or he does not like her at all.
Why is the poem talking about the kiss and the look. These are two different things but we can associate these two things with the word love. The kiss symbolizes the word love. The look for me is a non verbal communication based on our class in public speaking. I can say that looking is one way to show that you love the person. The expression on the eyes can help you distinguish the emotions of that person. Loving is not just on physical attractions and verbal words.
After reading and analyzing the poem, I have some realizations on it. I learned that we should show to the person we loved how much we cared and loved them. we should take all the opportunity to show them what we feel. If we will hide it, time will come that we will regret hiding it.
