TWO: although amidst the big noise, In the title and the first line, we find the word "glimpse" means an observation. Perhaps it is about the secret that we can look "through an interstice caught" means with the way looking an interstice and we see a room.
ONE: "A Quiet observation in the middle of the noise, and drunken raillery, about love amongst two men, one of them is young but they love each other and feel their happiness
I really admire his brave utterances, at a time when homosexuality was regarded as a very serious taboo with dire consequences.
I like this poem here the speaker is with a love and they are enjoying each other's company and the world pays them no mind. I love these moments with you in your own mind
I absolutely LOATHE the terrible AI voice... WW would roll over in his grave, if he hasn't already! Terrible 😫
The close interaction between the youth and experience on the platform of fleeting time is reflected here!
o dear look; please look at me the dust of dusk is greetings the darkness the light of lantern is in the hand of caravan everything is visible on your sight but I am; an opaque love please look at me.....
Of a youth who loves me, and whom I love, silently approaching, and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand;

THREE: fully occupied drinking people there. Interstice means we can observe each person unseen. Typical poem by Walt Whitman about being gay. Remarkable Classic Poem Of The Day
