The Sky a Silver
The Sky a Silver - meaning Summary
Spring's Uneasy Accidental Beauty
Cummings presents a brief scene of spring that shifts from a composed, musical image of the sky to a chaotic, pedestrian display of blooming. The poem moves from an aesthetic notion of April’s "correct fingers" resolving into clichéd jewels to a clumsy moth whose awkward flight—bumping against trees, houses, and finally the river—suggests nature’s fragile, accidental beauty and the interplay of artifice and disorder.
