Dying Is Fine - but Death
Dying Is Fine - but Death - meaning Summary
Dying Versus Death
The poem contrasts the gentle, natural act of dying with the harsh, institutional idea of Death. Cummings praises dying as miraculous, lively, and fitting, while calling Death scientific, artificial, legal, and evil. The speaker thanks God for dying and asks life to forgive the ‘‘sin’’ of Death, framing mortality as an intimate, human event undermined by abstracted, bureaucratic conceptions of death.
