To me, the poet walks "as far as I could walk," because he is infirm: he
makes it only as far as the "windowsill," when his mind and his heart
travel on. The flower and the bee, despite any sexual connotations,
symbolize his ethereal interaction with nature and a transcendental
"oneness." He longs to join one who has gone on before him, yet, who is
paradoxically omnipresent. His faith in a "prime mover" soothes his angst,
and, whether or not he proceeds directly following this interlude, he
trusts that he will be reunited with his soul mate in buzzing meadows where
the power of love dwarfing modern man's sophistication. This epiphany is
not his first on earth although it may be his last. The simplistic banter
here hypnotically attracts the reader as the flower attracts the bee.
Truly the magic here is not to see, but to feel.
