Now What Were Motionless Move - meaning Summary
Love Suspends Ordinary Gravity
Cummings celebrates an ecstatic, transformative love that lifts the lovers out of ordinary time and consequence. The speaker frames the beloved as a miracle that animates stillness, making them feel more alive than anyone or fate. He offers protection and urges shared daring—walking "in the air" and dancing above fear, tomorrow, and yesterday. The poem insists on focusing solely on love as the sustaining, world-changing force.
