I could tell this because it states, “I keep remembering you.” Showing that he remembers who he was, and realizes that he is no longer that way. At the beginning of the poem, Merwin seems to miss and almost want to be the person he once was. Stating, “Even when I forget you, I go on looking for you.” I think that means that he often forgets who he was before, yet he keeps trying to change back to the same guy.

‘ Spring and All’ by Williams Carlos Williams is a poem loaded with many concrete images; under the shade of deterioration and decay new life is being brought up. The poem begins by introducing the setting with the image of a ‘contagious hospital’. This image connects to the poet’s profession of a doctor back in time.
