Well - i'll start with Tonight as that's what i was reading when I had this threadia..
Tonight - for me shows a distancing between talent and agent. Editor calls them the girls and Buk differentiates between the girls and a woman.
"The girls are gone already" he says to show that you can't really compare his poems longetivity with the shimmering din of the girls.
but a woman, one woman trumps the girls and trumps the longevity of his poems. for that he'll give up everything.
it's clear that the editor doesn't get this difference as he says 'i know what you mean' to two very different things i.e longevity of poems and the girls vs 'one truly alive woman tonight' who would absolve any notions of longevity, legacy and reputation.
I'd be tempted to say that his immediate lust for a woman that leaves him ready to give up everything is more than just lust but the fact that he says 'tonight' means to me that this is a deep lust and tomorrow ... he might care about his legacy and what not.
