Six
Six - meaning Summary
Multiplicity Forming Unity
Cummings' short poem tracks a choreography of six presences in a dark room, repeatedly counted and recombined. Numbers, colors, sexes and elemental images (clouds, earth, fire, flowers) overlap in a circular, incantatory pattern that blurs individual identity into collective motion. The poem emphasizes rhythmic repetition and fusion: separate figures become parts of a single, shifting whole, suggesting unity through dance, sound and recurring numerical motifs.
