"Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right..."See in text(Acquainted with the Night)
Time is meaningless to the speaker; it is neither the wrong time nor the right time for him to do something or to be somewhere. The idea emphasizes his disengagement from society and relationships, supporting the poem’s theme of emotional isolation.
"When far away an interrupted cry..."See in text(Acquainted with the Night)
The speaker walks alone and avoids human contact, but he is aware of others who are not alone and isolated. “Cry” has connotations of distress and the expression of strong emotion; the speaker’s having stopped when he heard someone’s cry seems to suggest that he identifies with the feelings.
