Dannie Abse uses the senses of sight, sound and smell, and also describes emotions. Which memory or new experience brings home to you most clearly his reactions in ‘Return to Cardiff’?

No sooner than I’d arrived the other Cardiff had gone,
smoke in the memory, these but tinned resemblances,
where the boy I was not and the man I am not
met, hesitated, left double footsteps, then walked on.

How far do you think of yourself when much younger as the same ‘you’ as now?
Have you ever experienced surprise at a place that looks different simply because you are now seeing it with more mature eyes?
How far have the experiences of the young and older Dannie Abse been integrated by the end of the poem?
