Where It All Goes Down
Cornford doesn't give us much to go on in terms of the setting in this one. With only eight lines, we're lucky to have a poem at all. Still, the content does give us kind of an indoor feeling with the mention of instruments. And musicians are an indoors-y bunch, right? Since the guitarist is tuning up, it feels a little more formal than just a dude noodling around on his guitar. Perhaps the speaker is at a guitar recital of some kind.
When the speaker compares the guitarist and his guitar to lovers, we might mentally shift the setting to something a bit more private and romantic, but there certainly isn't anything in the poem that places us in the great outdoors.
