"Watch how 'm spin web roun' yu house, an creep

In the poem "Uncle Time’’, the passing of time is presented and described as an old man by the beach who eventually catches everyone. Uncle Time gradually gets closer to the house where the narrator lives and wraps its webs around the house. Time then creeps into the house where he touches everyone. Once a person is touched, he or she begins to cry and be sad because they know their time is near. This quote is important because it shows how we often like to think we are safe from the passage of time but how more than often we are closer to the end than we know. When we do realize just how much time has passed, it is often too late and there is nothing we can do.
"So he accepted that geography, constantly strange.
Wondered.’’
The quote from above summarizes the poem "Marrysong’’ and presents the reason why the narrator chose to remain by the woman he loved even though she did not care about him.

Because of this, the man refuses to leave the woman for the simple fact she represents something wonderful to him.
