Love as the burning boy in Bishop's "Casabianca": metaphor and personification. \xa0 Metaphor vs. simile. \xa0Pound's haiku like poem. \xa0The background in Southwell's high conceit in his "The Burning babe." \xa0Freud and the dream of the burning child. \xa0Love personified when all that's left of the desired other is the personified desire for the other: like her as another to who somehow is adequate to our passionate gried; like ourselves for the same reason, and neither of us, but rather the thing lost and returning to lament its loss. \xa0Yeats's "When you are old": her face, Love's face.
