Quote #7
I listened, motionless and still; (29)
Music, poetry, song—these things are really powerful. The speaker is floored. He is "motionless and still," almost as if he were died. Yikes—the power of this woman's song is almost scary.
Quote #8
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more. (30-32)
The speaker is definitely moved. There's no doubt about that. He keeps the woman's music in his "heart" because that's his way of telling us that he has had an emotional response to the song, not an intellectual one. (If that were the case he would have said something like "the music in my head I bore.")
