- ... word choice, A.M. Klein chooses to dwell on a more positive side, with Layton taking the negative. Proof of this is found in Lone Bather : swims fancy and gay ....under the satins of his great big bed. This quote shows the richness and prosperity of the water, and how the water is viewed by the character in it. Within The Swimmer almost the opposite is identified: to the tiger shadows ... too numerous to name. There are some similarities in the meanings of each poem. The meanings both seem to be that the main character, whether it is the swimmer or the bather, seems to undergo great change when he is around and in the water. Lone Bather actually goes out and says the bather becomes like a dolphin, then a plant, and even at first a bird. This leads the reader ... is at first glance a symbolism for sexual interaction between man and woman. After deeper examination, it appears that what Klein is actually trying to say is that the bather in the poem is taking great pleasure in his time in the water, but this pleasure is not sexual. Instead, I believe this poem s unique message to this reader is that it is important to take time off for ...

- ... felt he had to. And he knew that Waldo had done the same. It was sort of like dancing (once the restaurant got going you did get into a rhythm), and he and Waldo were great partners.

When he worked with other guys, half the time he was running into them, saying things like "'scuse ... to let her out of the bench seat. "You look preoccupied," said Andrea as Derek sat back down.
