On Not Shoplifting Louise Bogan's The Blue Estuaries

A girl falls in love with book she find in the college book store, it's an ordinary book nothing special about it. Like every other college student we are all broke, that's where the dilemma starts when she thinks about stealing the book because she really wants it. The picture in the book of two white doves, represent to her purity which she think she would stain the moment she leaves the store with it. That is her conscious speaking out to her, we all have gone throw that stage where we want to do something that cant be either against the law. I think when we reach to the point of stealing something we end up lossing a part of ourself.
