This proves that the setting is important in the story. Sarita mentions that the hotel rooms make her feel claustrophobic and describes how awful the hotel rooms are. This gives the readers an uneasy feeling because they know that Sarita is describing the rooms where she sleeps with men.

If Sarita would focus on school instead of being a prostitute, she would not have been in this situation where she had to make money illegally.

Wordsworth reminisces his past memories and the whole poem seems like a journal entry

The title seems like a journal entry. It is very long and repels people from reading it. The title of the poem is very different and unique from others.

The poet suggests that the time has been very long and significant to him.

Repetition of "of"

Speaker- speaker is melancholic and bitter over the fact that they broke up with their partner.

words like 'grey' and 'white' along with sentences such as 'the sun was white' and 'the smile on your mouth was the deadliest thing' show how the speaker is sad and lonely and doesn't see the bright side of life anymore after the breakup.

Oxymoron that shows lack of feelings and emotions

Greyish leaves end up in rotting and since this whole poem is about love, loss and memories, it could indicate that the leaves rotted just like their relationship did.

The word 'stood' suggests that there is a lack of movement which contributes to lifeless atmosphere and 'winter' reflects the cold emotions between their relationship.

The structure of the poem is ABBA

The whole poem has this sense of lifelessness running through it, the speaker is unable or unwilling to introduce anything positive into the experience.
