And This Day It Was Spring
And This Day It Was Spring - meaning Summary
Spring's Sensory Intoxication
The poem captures a single spring day saturated with sensory detail and urban bustle. The speaker and others are vividly alive yet awkwardly separated, drawn toward desire but unable to fully meet. The narrator fixates on the woman’s birdlike movement amid a fragile, noisy humanity. The scene closes at an uncanny intersection of "Nothing and Something" where a hand-organ plays "like hell," leaving motion and longing unresolved.
Read Complete Analysesand this day it was Spring….us drew lewdly the murmurous minute clumsy smelloftheworld. We intricately alive,cleaving the luminous stammer of bodies (eagerly just not each other touch)seeking,some street which easily tickles a brittle fuss of fragile huge humanity…. Numb thoughts,kicking in the rivers of our blood,miss by how terrible inches speech—it made you a little dizzy did the world’s smell (but i was thinking why the girl-and-bird of you move….moves….and also,i’ll admit—) till,at the corner of Nothing and Something,we heard a handorgan in twilight playing like hell
