Analysis of The Guitarist Tunes Up
Frances Darwin Cornford 1886 (Cambridge) – 1960 (Cambridge)
With what attentive courtesy he bent
Over his instrument;
Not as a lordly conquerer 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.
