Notes This poem appears to refer to government oppression, such as espionage. There is a sense of oppression and watchfulness in the poem, with the speaker anticipating being closed within a net before long. The speaker lives in fear of everything, including love itself, and the dead are always threatening, the past pushing in on the present.
