A Late Aubade Sex Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Line)

Quote #1

You could be planting a raucous bed (5)

True, Wilbur is literally talking about gardening here, but we can't help but notice the word choice "raucous" (as in rowdy, which definitely has some sexual connotation attached to it), and the line break at "bed." Raucous bed?! C'mon, that's got to be a tongue-in-cheek move on Wilbur's part.

Quote #2

Isn't this better (12)

"This"—what exactly is "this?" Wilbur doesn't ever say it outright, but we're thinking it could very well be sex.

Quote #3

Think of all the time you are not
Wasting, and would not care to waste (13-14)

Similar to love, this line makes us think there's nothing more important that what the couple is doing.
