An impressive exercise in couplets of irregular length, free of the secondhand romanticism so commonly found in his work. This poem presents the yearning of lovers for an exotic geographical setting, but then undercuts that mood by revealing the magic inherent in the here and now of 'this one little room, this homely place.' The poem combines the lacquered lyricism we expect from Smith with a surprising freshness of design. - Robert Eldridge. Sidney-Fryer, Donald.
