My Favorite Poem 2

The Guitarist Tunes Up by Frnces Cornford
With what attentive courtesy he bent
Over his instrument;
Not as a lordly conqueror who could
Command both wire and wood,
But as a man with a loved woman might,
Inquiring with delight
What slight essential things she had to say
Before they started, he and she, to play.


- very educational and inspirational
- I like the attentive attitude courtesy of the guitarist and the subtle atmosphere between the two, so attractive.
