This is the most alluring little poem I have read. It's multiphonic over and undertones are uncountable. Try interpretating. (Sour grapes anyone.? Try Aesop's fables.) Biblical references?.. yes, "catch the foxes, they spoil the vineyards"... and crowd out real fox feeding habits if you want to research. Whole vineyards and grapes themselves have been named after the fox (although there are pages of controversy as to why! It is true that the fox eats fruit (other animals come first), but this is definitely the most romanticized, mysteriously engaged relationship between a fruit and an animal I have ever encountered. And so... appropriate as the essence of a love poem. Two brilliants anyone? Really.
