I Am So Glad and Very

I Am So Glad and Very - meaning Summary

Union Transforms Limitation

This short poem celebrates intimate union and the transformative power of a beloved. Addressing "you," the speaker claims closeness dissolves singular limits: sloth becomes cure, separations shrink, fears and inhibitions change. Playful, numbered phrases and paradoxes (night/sky/sun) dramatize a widening of perception and possibility. The final lines assert identity through the other: togetherness makes distinct parts into a single, energized self.
