Explication
Explication of "Music"

"Music" by Walter de la Mare

This poem is about how whenever he listens to music, everything is nothing. He doesn't pay attention to the world around him. He is just so drowned in the music. Whenever the girl that sings the music that he listens to sings it, everything about her that is great and lovely becomes more great and lovely, only in that few moments while she is singing. Everything becomes intense and more of. Evrything burdened is helped. When the she sings her music everything comes out of hiding and timidness. Its beauty puts him to sleep (in a good way). Everything is melted by her lovely music. Everything is awkened from its dwelling place. When he hears the music, he becomes younger. The echoing of the music he becomes of what he was. THe music seems to pause time. When it ends, he goes along, without the beauty of the music.
