The contrast of the city to the shore is exquisite. One underlying meaning
one may extricate from the poem is that of one who has has his share of
lovers, all of which left him unsatisfied. Yet the shore, and its image of
gleaming beauty and youth gives the idea of a new love, one with meaning.
The blue lake appears to serve as a symbol for hope and rebirth in the
sexual awareness of the poet.

a very beautiful poem. at first i thought it was about people being
enslaved or just imprisoned and were hungry, but i asked my english teacher
about it and then thought about it again. it's just a moment in his life.
he's seeing the harbor and the water and takes us through the images as he
sees them. he contrasts the bleak, dark city with the bright and lively
harbor. there's no real message of this poem, it's just images in chicago
as he sees them.

such a wonderful poem. one can feel the waves and the fluttering wings of
birds. It is a gift to be so descriptive with words.
