The theme of distance is introduced in the opening line. When the speaker informs the reader‚ “Tonight I can write the saddest lines‚” he suggests that he could not previously.

Age 9. Ahhh... The last single-digit age. The lovely age of 9 symbolizes the end of the young girl’s childhood. It is when a young girl quickly learns to become a young lady. She will sit a little straighter‚ study a little harder‚ and pray a little louder. Age 9. It is a time where she is given more seemingly minor responsibilities: more things to clean‚ more homework to do‚ more laundry to fold. No kid likes that‚ but "big girls" don’t cry. Instead‚ they tie their hair out of their faces

"She walks in beauty‚ like the night / Of cloudless climes and starry skies" (lines 1-2 ). His use of imagery has allowed us to visualize an atmosphere that surrounds this woman.
