As reading through the poem i realize a sense of cliche throughout the poem "which was the meadow of the world ". He repeats a certain sentences which resemble one another as the poem progressed.This poem represents a couple on a normal outing from the females perspective. The females perspective is truly emphasized upon. Lawrence uses simple imagery which the reader can easily imagined. Which we can sense and picture the emotions as well.
What I'm so curious about is why the man in the poem brought a flute to the meadow although, he mentions its never played. The symbolization of the flute is just a sense of aesthetics? Although it may seem like a simple poem is their an underlying subliminal.
Through the poem just before the end you'd figure they are a happy couple, who are jolly, happy, and in love. But during the end "and finally looking over at him without any particular expression except a certain awful look of terrible depression" Could she have felt a sense of unhappiness from what seems to be TOO perfect? In this poem we find heavy imagery, strive for utopia, and paradise. Lawrence write this poem setting the scene as a beautiful day in the park but only underlies the inner perspective between a relationship, and gender.
Yes, you're on the right track, the sense that you're visualizing a cliche, and the possiblity that there is no underlying sublimity---this may be part of the poem's epiphany--the "too perfect" is important.
