Ahah. I was very deep into Charlotte Brontë at one time: moon v significant, but as a steadying & supportive (female) force. And, despite his superficial persuasiveness, I do disagree with Riffaterre: the connotations of literary symbols are neither universally accepted nor set in stone.
I have no idea why something in that fourth line made me think of Wish You Were Here. Maybe making tradeoffs. Those rhymes must have taken a bit of elbow grease!
Funny thing: it was an indistinct sense of quite a long & fuzzy part of my life - but Occam sliced it down to five feet in a trice. As for rhymes, school, fool, and time were pre-pasted in, so sin merely had to become crime. I checked out Wish You Were Here: SB far deeper than me, poor sod.
