Spring Is Like a Perhaps Hand
Spring Is Like a Perhaps Hand - meaning Summary
Fragile Arrival of Spring
Cummings' poem compares spring to a tentative, careful hand that appears from 'Nowhere' to rearrange a window—placing small new and familiar things—while people watch. The image emphasizes subtle, almost surgical renewal: incremental shifts, fractions of flowers and inches of air, transforming the scene without force. The tone is gentle and intimate, presenting seasonal change as delicate, deliberate, and quietly miraculous.
Read Complete AnalysesSpring is like a perhaps hand (which comes carefully out of Nowhere)arranging a window,into which people look(while people stare arranging and changing placing carefully there a strange thing and a known thing here)and changing everything carefully spring is like a perhaps Hand in a window (carefully to and fro moving New and Old things,while people stare carefully moving a perhaps fraction of flower here placing an inch of air there)and without breaking anything.
