![]() ![]() The poem does not portray loneliness as a negative thing, instead, the audience feels the pain of the speaker and, if they have ever experienced a similar situation, is able to empathize with him. Smith writes in a way that makes the reader feel the emptiness of both Boston and the space around the speaker without the person he loves by his side. The speaker is trying to find strength around him, but the city he’s in is not providing him with any solace.Īlthough this poem is depressing, the audience is meant to be able to relate to it. In the poem, the speaker has lost a sense for who he is, saying how he “couldn’t remember when knew never be beautiful, but it must have been quick and subtle, the way the holy ghost can pass in and out of a room.” He doesn’t even feel like he’s living because the person he loves is no longer with him. The speaker of the poem remembers back to how he used to feel and how what he used to do now only adds to how deserted he feels. During these times, the world seems too big and vast and it feels as though we cannot find ourself. The poem is about how empty and lost we can feel when we are missing someone and no longer able to find comfort in them. “Boston” shows loneliness and a yearning for someone that is no longer there. ![]() I’ve enjoyed my chats with him so far, and I hope it’s a pleasant experience Saturday afternoon. Then the plan is to go back to his house for an early dinner. He’s a professor in Burlington, and we’re going to meet at a museum up there. I am looking forward to my phone interview tomorrow, and I’m going on a date Saturday afternoon. I just hope we don’t have to go that route. If it goes against us, there are back-up contingencies. All we can do is make our case and hope for the best. I just pray, this isn’t our version of Custer’s Last Stand. I am not looking forward to today, but at some point we have to make a stand. I’ll make sure that I update y’all tomorrow. In other news, my coworkers and I at the museum have been strategizing on how to best deal with the issue over the current exhibit. However, seeing Dartmouth students walking around Hanover, it’s refreshing to see guys clean shaven and dressed nicely. In Vermont, unshaven men and women seem to be the norm, and most clothing appears to be from either vintage clothing store or if they want to dress up, L.L. None of them look to take particular care of their appearance, but I’d venture to guess, they work really hard to have the appearance of not working hard on their appearance. The women on the other hand seem to all dress like hippies. Not only do all of the guys dress preppy, they are all pretty cute too. One of the largest retailers near the campus is J. Crew models, and there’s a good reason for that. While the buildings on the campus and in the town are beautiful, the better view is of the male students. Nowhere seems to have their own parking lot. All I saw was a few street side metered parking spaces. I had wanted to check out where a few restaurants I’d heard about were and see what the parking situation was, which turned out to be basically nonexistent. The college makes up most of the town, but it’s a beautiful little New England town. Hanover, you may know, is the home of Dartmouth College. Instead, I decided to drive across the border to Hanover, New Hampshire. ![]() However, I got there and it was so crowded with people, I decided not to even go in to have a look around. ![]() They have a really nice kitchen store that sells much more than just King Arthur Flour. While I was in that part of the state, I decided to go to the King Arthur Baking Store in Norwich, Vermont. I was told by my sleep doctor that I had to try the new masks before we could move onto other solutions. I hope this helps, but there are other options if it doesn’t. I just can’t continue with the old mask which was causing me to go to sleep in pain and wake up in pain. There weren’t a lot of options that don’t put pressure on the right side of my head. I did get a new mask, and I just have to see how it works. Yesterday, I had to drive down to White River Junction, Vermont, on the New Hampshire border for an appointment to get fitted for a new type of CPAP mask, since the one I have is aggravating my trigeminal neuralgia. ![]()
