There is some great contrast going on here, throughout the whole of the piece. The age in the language of the first stanzas versus a shocking, "bring me back" flurry of cursing in that last stanza. It really drives home something of a magical and elegant (even if unintended) atmosphere of the reading/critique. I worry about the first stanza, though. I wish I better understood its purpose because, to me, the other stanzas were more subtle in their revelations and less forceful with their word choice.
