title: For emily, many years too late/ years later, in another city, I still think of her.
abstract: Abstract "For Emily, Many Years Too Late": The speaker laments that she did not memorize details about her lover when they were together. Looking back at what she's lost, she wishes they had not parted. "Years Later, in Another City, I Still Think of Her": The speaker, living in a foreign city, hears, through her window, an old man playing a cello in the street below. She is reminded of her former lover, a cellist, and despite having a new life in a new place, the speaker is haunted by the memory of her former lover.
