Taut and moody on the golf course, Betsy lugs a portable phonograph with her on the tour, relaxes between rounds with Wagnerian opera. This season, Betsy had been in a frustrating slump...

As one reads along, however, one realizes that not only is the poet describing in almost bitter terms the character's satisfaction with his garden, but is also parodying Marvell's The Garden, a rather brilliant piece of allegorical poetry in which Marvell makes his garden the image for intense Platonic contemplation.
