Quote #4
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun (21-24)
Here the speaker imagines walking with his love among the "long dappled grass" when he finds her, and spending all of his time (and in fact, all of time) with her. The image of "plucking" the silver apples and golden apples suggests the idea of nourishment. We eat apples, after all. So the apples here can be read to suggest that the speaker will be nourished by being reunited with his love. The references to the "moon" and "sun" also indicate the passage of time. The moon signifies night, and the sun day. The speaker wants to spend the rest of his nights and days with his beautiful, glimmering girl.
