Hope it's OK to go on. Just thinking if Ashbery is a good example of
deconstructions of closure. A little unsure what that word means, despite having read deconstructive readings of him. I think the beginning of Europe symbolically compares the poet, writing, to a summer's day, and in doing so perhaps the parenthetical phrase "cannot understand / feels deeply" expresses a rejection of closure, reader and writer; we want to immortalize both but are just left with feelings of depth...
