E. E. Cummings

Speaking of Love

Speaking of Love - meaning Summary

Uncertain Language of Love

Cummings examines love as an elusive, partly ineffable experience that resists precise definition. The poem links dreaming, heart, and mind and suggests small moments—a caress, a laugh, a grassblade—stand in for larger feeling. Love is presented as mutual and embodied: mind in mind, flesh in flesh. Those sensory exchanges give life its meaning, yet they are transient, leading toward disappearance rather than permanent explanation.
