Snyder begins the second stanza by shifting the focus to himself, acknowledging the fact that he is also not immune to the effects of time, since he »cannot remember things he once read«.

poem
The speaker sets the scene with Bishop's characteristic attention to minute detail. She has accompanied her Aunt Consuelo to the dentist's office and waits for her through the dark afternoon or evening of Massachusetts in February. While she waits, she reads a copy of National Geographic, observing the pictures of naked women, a dead man “slung on a pole,” and a volcanic eruption.
