from JO PHILLIPS ed: Poems Deep & Dangerous Remember to support your ideas with details from the writing. Read this poem, and then answer the question that follows it: In Our Tenth Year This book, this page, this harebell laid to rest between these sheets, these leaves, if pressed still bleeds a watercolour of the way we were. Those years: the fuss of such and such a day, that disagreement and its final word, your inventory of names and dates and times, my infantries of tall, dark, handsome lies. A decade on, now we astound ourselves; still two, still twinned but doubled now with love and for a single night apart, alone, how sure we are, each of the other half. This harebell holds its own. Let’s give it now in air, in light, the chance to fade, to fold. Here, take it from my hand. Now, let it go. (Simon Armitage) In what ways does Armitage memorably portray the speaker’s feelings in In Our Tenth Year?
