Lowell..again

Although it seems I am not alone in preferring Lowell's poetry, I don't prefer it because of its accessibility of lanaguage and form, but rather I appreciate its accessible themes.
"A Decade" was sweet, simple, to the point, but appeailing to the senses. It discusses aging, commitment, excitement within a relationship and fulfillment. It accomplishes this those previously mentioned themes in six lines. Impressive, surely, but there is a sort of irony in how simply described love can be in comparison to how it is actually felt.
