This really grows on me with every reading. The delicacy and subtlety. The unobtrusive rhymes.
(Interesting point for discussion--why does skyline/shoreline work as a rhyme here, when missed/dismissed didn't so much??)
Just not sure about "the linkage...."
"Impassibility" bothered me a little bit at first as I wasn't sure whether i should be thinking about the water as an expanse too great to pass over, or as an impassive thing that does not share N's feelings or care...but then it can be both, perhaps.
