Whereas by Dark Really Released - meaning Summary
Desire and Social Disguise
The poem contrasts a woman’s private, intense sexuality with her cool, socially appropriate daytime persona. The speaker observes her nocturnal passion as fierce, embodied, and almost violent, then notes how by day she adopts a controlled half-smile and an indifferent perfume that separates her from others. It explores tension between private desire and public decorum, and the distance created by social performance.
Read Complete Analyseswhereas by dark really released,the modern flame of her indomitable body uses a careful fierceness. Her lips study my head gripping for a decision:burn the terrific fingers which grapple and joke on my passionate anatomy oh yes! Large legs pinch,toes choke— hair-thin strands of magic agony ….by day this lady in her limousine oozes in fashionable traffic,just a halfsmile (for society’s sweet sake) in the not too frail lips almost discussed; between her and ourselves a nearly-opaque perfume disinterestedly obscene.
