1) "..... he would go to work and bore me nearly to death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me. If that was the design, it certainly succeeded."

2) "If he even seen a straddle-bug start to go anywheres, he would bet you how long it would take him to get wherever he was going to, and if you took him up, he would foller that straddle-bug to Mexico..."

Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me; Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling string And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings. “Piano” sets a nostalgic mood from the first word and presents two scenes: one in which a woman sings at the end of the day and the other a reminiscence of the poetic “I.” Drawn in by the woman’s voice, the speaker recollects. Music has teleporting power; it can take us back in time to a specific person, place, or sentiment. In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide. This second stanza carries the power of the song; it conveys the poet’s recollections. He is, again, plunged into his past. He desires to go back, to feel everything once more. So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past. In the third and final stanza, the speaker struggles with present and past delight, feeling the great sadness of not being able to return to his childhood.
