I agree with all that Rhina says here. The marvel of the poem is the alteration in relative ages of the two "friends". I heard a discussion about Camus this morning. They spoke of his realisation, at the grave of his father, that he was older than his father. It is a moment of understanding, This poem has captured it wonderfully.
