In this poem it's about a woman who suffers for love, but she does not blame anyone for the suffering. But we can feel that she suffers.

The depth of her feelings results from the words (common words) she use and the thoughts are palpable because make comparison between things in everyday life:

In this poem i don't see a single image, a central one, but two images. The first one contains her in a dark and humid place, almost sewer-like, a place that closes and consumes her. She is surrounded by her own state of mind, everything is acid-like, consuming every single thing. She feels that she was thrown away like garbage, thus the only thing that remains for her is to decay. The second image is not described at all, this is only in the head of the lyrist, an image that haunts her, that fuels her current state, the image of her being jilted.

This poem has the subject based on the disappointment of love which results from a women being neglected by her lover who may probably must have gone to find another women.
The purpose of this poem is the unhappiness of this women to be abandoned by her lover at a young age.

This looks like a melancholic poem, somewhat like Bacovia's poems, in which we have a bunch of metaphors used to describe the way this woman feels. Although life is not over and she could find love again, she looks as if the end of her days is near. Her heart is torn apart and a bunch of negative feelings fill it.

The title gives us an insight on what may have caused this sorrow. But still you wonder if there is more. Why did she get jilted? Did she do something wrong? Did her lover think that she did something wrong? Either way, this is a pretty emotional poem.

I don't agree with Razvan when he says that this poem looks like Bacovia's poem because there is no death in here only emotional suffering.I could add that in a way she feels pity for herself and she is lonely.Her thoughts are cloudy and I think that this poem looks like Arghezi's poems with his "Estetica Uratului" or with Charles Baudelaire "Les Fleurs du Mal".Well, everyone feels lonely from time to time but as long you have the inner strength to get over with it's ok... Smile

As I see it, yellow is the color of jealousy, and jealousy is like acid eating up everything it touches. So, to me, this is a poem about a woman who was jilted for another woman before the love she felt or the relationship she had could ripe. All the visual images that are presented here have something to do with sourness, like lemon and unripe fruits, just the taste you have when someone lives you.

Mihis, when a woman is suffering and describes her feelings like she does, she thinks and feels that there is no life after him. It is told that every goodbye is like a little death. Oh, and… not everybody have that inner strength, some people even commit suicide.

Reexamination
I think this poem is about the sufferings of a women because she wanted love with any price and she couldn't find it and she becomes a depressed person.
She is in a bad mood because she is felling abandoned by her lover and this thing makes her suffer very much.She is trying to speak about her frustration.Her soul is full of fear and sorrow and this thing makes this women to be a frustrated person.

The title of this poem is very suggestive. The word jilt refers to a woman that capriciously drops her lover. The fact that her thoughts are "crabbed" and "sallow" makes me think that she was probably deceived. The meaning of the colours in also very important in this poem. In some cases, yellow brings clarity and awarness but in our case, the yellow-green colour can mean deceit and creates a disoriented feeling. The wind in described as "caustic" because it destroys everything. The author's heart is "lean" and "unripened" because of the suffering.

I was marked by the simile" my tear like vinegar" that for me means an intensive pain, not a physical pain but a pain that a women has in her soul after she separated for her lover. When we suffer we tend to blame somebody, someone but this women is very correct with her because she is accepting his fate, she is not blaming anyone, the poem is like the perfect suffering were is just me and the pain. She is seeing life like with not a good taste.

When I read this poem my first impression was that is about a women who is looking in the mirror and she tries to describe her fellings about a dissapointed love. The title itself made a sugestion about what will read, the meaning of the word being to suddently end a close romantic relationship with someone. Sylvia Path used a simple language ,the pattern structure is of three stanza,the rhyme is crossed and the foot is iambic. In the first stanza is about her thoughts,are involved senses but is no mention of the outside world.The second stanza has auditive images; stars and moon are no longer romantic elements,her perception become sour,that is the way she sees the world now (caustic). The third stanza shows us the women who turns inside,she don't blame to the other person are not used verbs of violence. [/i]

I saw in this poem a woman which suffered a depression being jilted, and now she try to contemplate the situation which brought her into a bad condition. The author uses in this poem, to suggest her condition, visual adjectives like: "Thought crabbed and sallow", "tears like vinegar", "bitter blinking yellow", "acetic star", "wry-faced pucker", "puny, green and tart plum", "wizened stem", "lean, unripened heart". all those visual adjective tries to denote her feeling, her emotional condition: partea interioară tastes, depressed and bitter feelings. The presentation of this character is made by the author very even extreme subjective looking into similarities and into comparison. here are presented not only interior feelings, but also exterior feelings. But those exterior feelings are not disclosed outside. What she thinks, how she sees life, and her love is known only to her. Apart from those feelings, we can see that all describing elements are negative, dulls, bitter and sour.
