Wind as a Lady
Cummings personifies the wind as a woman who moves at sunset and gently touches hills, fields, and flowers. A brief dialogue frames the wind’s claim that it treats blossoms as if they were ideas, causing them to seem fragile or uncertain. The poem links this delicate touching to questions of identity and perception, suggesting the wind’s interaction both animates and disguises the renewed world in transient, intimate ways.
