Paraphrase -- Hart Crane

There is a lot of imagery in this poem to do with a bed and a bedroom. This might hint at his sexuality again, but when I read it first I thought it had to do with death. It just gave me the impression that the speakers life is coming to an end. "The light that shll not rouse," makes me think of the sun shining on a dead man in his bed. Even thought the sunlight hits his face, he will not wake.
