Rick:

I'm looking at the hyacinth lines,

"
... when we came back, late, from the "**hyacinth** garden, (i.e., flower
garden)
Your **arms full** and your **hair** wet,"

Knowing TSE's allusive style, it seems unlikely to be a coincidence that "La
Figlia", written many years earlier, contained the words "arms full", "hair",
and a reference to flowers ("Her **hair** over her arms and her **arms full**
of **flowers**").
