[Alessio Boni]

Hi Alex,

I'm very happy to hear my perception of the metaphysical walls actually resonated with the creator of the piece.

Forgive me, but regarding the first answer, I'm kind of still confused on why a lobby light specifically? Because it's the light of the hall in which the narrator passes? The candlelight also suggests a more intimate experience with the woman in the past so that makes sense, thank you.

For the second answer, that makes perfect sense! Also, the fastness of her passing by as a 'slipping silk' (ykwim) matches the fleeting glimpses of memories very well.

The triggering of 'desire' is also a good match, now that I think about it, with the luxury of silk.

Thanks for the response, and cheers!

Alessio.

P.S

Sorry, now that I re - read the poem my question is kind of pointless because I just realized it is the mentioned light in which he sees the dame at the present, so I've got my response already.
