Of Evident Invisibles
Of Evident Invisibles - meaning Summary
Desire and Delicate Pain
The poem sketches a tense, delicate scene of mutual attraction and restrained suffering. Cummings observes a hurt girl and an attentive boy, portraying their separate sensations as intertwined — the girl’s wounded eyes and the boy’s exact mouth. Mythic hints (faun, syrinx) and floral imagery suggest yearning and muted eroticism. The language emphasizes what is both visible and invisible: emotional pain, suppressed desire, and the fragile balance between wonder and wound.
