To contrive is to allow my ego to dictate my words.

The next two verses begin with ‘He’, and these are followed by a verse not beginning with anything special.You say ‘There is nothing sleazy … about this encounter he sings about’. In using the first person, the narrator seems to want to give the impression he can look back critically on his past self. Brought on by a simple twist of fate. "Simple Twist Of Fate". She gives money to a blind beggar, and doesn’t let chance events destroy her life. Just as Blake’s tyger, also ‘burning bright’, is a product of hell, so is this place. But it’s made to seem as if it takes place at the same time as the woman he was with in the park selflessly gives money to the beggar. Do “sleazy” people think of themselves as sleazy? From this eternal perspective, what the narrator wants he has already succeeded in bringing about.In recent performances he specifically sings – “I lost the wedding ring.”Thanks for commenting Nick. ‘Delacroix’ is also the name of a French painter admired by French poet Charles Baudelaire.Tangled Up In Blue – ‘And glowed like burning coal’ alludes to Baudelaire’s ‘The Balcony’:In fact one version of Dylan’s song goes like this:GnosticTranscendentalists in regard to tropes of darkness and light, many of the Symbolist poets may have been, but orthodox Christians they were not.You’re right that Baudelaire was an admirer of Delacroix. And watched out for a simple twist of fate. The narrator seems to be confusing the two women in his mind. He blames fate for his being overcome by lust – ‘the heat of the night’ – and when he suffers feelings of regret for this, his response is no more than to wish that things had gone differently. Blake’s God here is associated with positive and negative qualities. Its seediness is enhanced by noise – the presumably sleazy sound of a saxophone – and intimations of violence when the light is described as having ‘bust’ through a ‘beat-up’ shade.
Simple Twist of Fate Lyrics. In recognising this, he’s acknowledging the present reality of his spiritual rebirth.Spring, as a representation of spiritual rebirth, is not the only use of a religious idea in the song.Religious imagery is used to reflect the pointlessness of the narrator’s earlier outlook.

In any case, from the woman’s perspective, the saxophone is ‘far off’.And the phrase ‘A little confused’ is itself ironic in that it’s intended to refer to his past state of mind, but seems equally to apply to his present one.A further exception to the use of the third person is the final verse in which the first person is used throughout. It seems unlikely to be the prostitute, since his concern is for the woman he was with in the park. Baudelaire modernizes poetry by replacing the Romantic serene images of the countryside with the unpleasant sensual images of contemporary city life; he’s inspired by looking at Delacroix’s eye-catching images of human suffering.

On some occasions he walks aimlessly with this woman beside him.

Are you assuming that the narrator (for want of a better word) is Dylan? The bedrock of David Guetta's Nicki Minaj-featuring single "Hey Mama" is a sample of "Rosie," a 1940s prison recording from folk archivist Alan Lomax that songwriter Esther Dean first showed the French DJ on YouTube.Lucinda Williams' track "Compassion" is based on a poem by her father, lauded Arkansas poet Miller Williams.The motto for Boys Town, which was a Nebraska home for troubled youth, inspired the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies.The "electrical bananas" in the Donovan song "Mellow Yellow" were vibrators.Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rosie" is about a bottle of wine.When Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse's version of "Body and Soul" made the Hot 100, Bennett became at age 85, the oldest living artist to chart.The Guns N' Roses rhythm guitarist in the early '90s, Gilby talks about the band's implosion and the side projects it spawned. If she was born in spring, and he is indeed (albeit metaphorically) her twin, then it follows that he too was born in spring. It’s difficult to know how to take it since ‘I lost the ring’ and ‘I lost the wedding ring’ both sound unnatural (although the former might sound natural from the mouth of a despairing best man). I’m not sure, though. it would not be unlike him to play around with the word by streaming it through an association with a place name.But don’t take that to the bank and expect it to be cashed.You’re all thinking too much… Dylan doesn’t think his music, he feels it.

Dylan is a Gemini. While ‘clock’ would have implied his awareness of time passing, the plural ‘clocks’ confirms that it has passed. Again, in saving him from his dissolute lifestyle, the woman will be his redeemer.The narrator thinks he’s fated. On others he attempts to find the woman from the park, but ends up among the prostitutes at the docks. As the evening sky grew dark. Williams’ ‘Queen Anne’s Lace’ and Yeats’ The Wandering Aengus’ are drawn upon by Dylan.

We’re told that:‘He hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in’But who is he hunting?

He hears her voice but has no more interest in what she’s saying than if he were hearing a parrot. Images. There are two references to this, one in verse three:In neither verse are we told where he is, or who he’s been with. ‘… watched out for a simple twist of fate’.

If so, I don’t see any justification for that.
