- natural imagery (concrete noun ‘garden’), the idea of the relationship growing naturally, not forced 
- dynamic verb ‘shaking’, the impact of her first love, the excitement as it starts out
- garden of eden imagery- initial innocence of the relationship, or the memory of this love brings her closer to nature ]]> 2022-05-11 09:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179094736 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179096461 ‘Clench my eyes’
Seems desperate to relieve her pure and passion of memories of her first love. The shift from present to past tense suggests the ability for memories to intrude on future and present self. The real desperate image created with the dynamic verb ‘clench’ to imply wanting to go back to feel the passion felt with her first love. It suggests past experiences shape our future selves and how we perceive new experiences. Even though the first love is dead the memories and feelings are still very prominent in the present. ]]> 2022-05-11 09:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179096461 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179096976 ‘and later a star, long dead, here seems precisely the size of a fear’

- lots of the stars in the sky have died
- even though their light takes ages to travel so we will see it (links to the line ‘wherever you are’ —> loving for a long time means the feeling will still end up dead but the pragmatics of being able to experience the feelings from the relationship will linger till it dies ]]> 2022-05-11 09:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179096976 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179098059 first love suggests live as being a dream which can be suggested by the noun “window” showing you are able to look back and feel close to that person again but unable to fully reclaim the memory, suggesting that the window acts as a barrier between reality and the dream idealization of a perfect first love]]> 2022-05-11 09:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179098059 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179098576 ‘pierce and sweeten the air’ 
- the memory is bittersweet, ‘pierce’ dynamic verb, the joy and pain of the first love, while looking back the speaker is now in a harsher reality/not living in the idealised first love state of mind anymore
- reflects on how at the time the relationship was good but now it’s over, it’s a shame 
-‘pierce and sweeten’ - juxtaposition of negative and positive language- the two sides of the experience ]]> 2022-05-11 09:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179098576 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179098805 There's a temperament in the first love - it's new and exciting. Driven by passion, it can't last. It's "childish" and it ultimately, it dies as people grow. There's a unique connection to your first love but there's a barrier that you can never go back to.
Window = barrier  you can see through but can't walk through ]]> 2022-05-11 09:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179098805 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179101554 ‘Love-letter’ in conjunction with the dynamic verb ‘stammers’ 

- the concrete countable noun ‘love-letter’ highlights a lack of communication, her imagination has only recreated this 1st love for her 
- dynamic verb ‘stammers’, connotes forming real words, speaking your name = memory developing still trying to form connections of experiences and memories of a first love ]]> 2022-05-11 09:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179101554 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179102418 ‘a silence of years-
abstract noun ‘silence’, there’s now a lack of connection, despite the first love being so significant in the speakers life they don’t talk anymore/there’s distance 
- doesn’t pan out in the idealised way but comes to its end ]]> 2022-05-11 09:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/dufflove/wish/2179102418
