Leanne & cidermaid,
Your remarks led me to remember this dealy. If you've not read it, it is a very cool bit of exegesis about how an experience in the world got the poetic gears churning for the poet in question.

The further question this arouses: how do you find such objects, that reveal themselves as "charged" with meaning in this way? It seems to me that there is an essential element of passivity here, i.e., we have to somehow be open, so that we can be found by them.
