When I Have Thought of You Somewhat Too
When I Have Thought of You Somewhat Too - meaning Summary
Desire Becomes Bodily Knowledge
The poem describes a sudden, almost involuntary eruption of erotic desire that begins in thought and becomes wholly physical. The speaker moves from admission of love to vivid bodily sensations, where bodily impulse and erotic imagination mingle with quick, bright images of blood, light, and motion. Self-awareness and comic embarrassment puncture the intensity, ending on a playful metaphor of a tadpole to suggest vulnerability and erotic folly.
