Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and
changing everything carefully
spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and
without breaking anything.
by:E. E. Cummings
Speaker: I think that the speaker may be a window installer in the spring. This person may be looking through the
window at spring out side and wanting to be out there. I think that this is valid because of the way the author writes
the poem in parenthesis.
Diction: The word choice in this poem is very selective and i thought that it was very weird. I did not like the way
the author wrote the poem at all. It was hard for me to decipher exactly what was going on.
Imagery: The imagery that this poem painted in my mind was of a window with flashing pictures of the spring on
the other side.
Figurative Language: Simile between spring and a perhaps hand.
Meaning: I think that the meaning of the poem is that a viewing something through a window is never as good as
viewing it first had such as something like spring.
