"Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath/ And so live ever-or else swoon to death" (792). I think this poem is about the sun. What I noticed first was the weird language. I think it is about the sun because it is the brightest star. Also, in a way, the sun does kind of look down on all of us. The writer says it is "gazing on" certain part of the Earth. But after about line 8, I just get lost. Is it about a woman now? Or still the sun? In any case, it is an interesting poem.
