| Quote #1 Like a vessel at the launch |
Laura is compared to a ship after all the lines have been drawn in and the anchor is up. She seems to have completely lost her self-"restraint." No more inhibitions. It's time to go for some goblin fruit.
| Quote #2 She sucked and sucked and sucked the more |

| Quote #3 "Do you not remember Jeanie, |
Jeanie is used as a cautionary tale in this poem – an example of what happens to women who eat the fruit but don't have a sister to redeem them.

And "plucking flowers" from a woman's private dressing room sounds an awful lot like a metaphor for sex.
