(Before) (After)
"The stars tonight are rich and cold" "The stars tonight are plentiful and distant"
This could be interpretated as the stars being rich as in money and cold to touch. It can also be seen as rich meaning plentiful or abundant, like there are many stars in the sky and cold as in distant like they are spread out across the sky.(Before) (After)
"Before I set out on that path." "Before I set out in that direction"
The author wrote this line literally making the reader think that the person in the poem is actually walking along a path. I see it as meaning the reader is about to take a different direction in life.
(Before) (After)
"Upon a path soon lost in dark." "Upon a path that I can't see."
The author wrote this line making the reader think that there is an actual path that the person in the poem can't see because of the darkness. I read this line as that there is no actual path but it is a metaphor for the direction the person's life is going in or was going in.
