Our Lives Are Swiss
Our Lives Are Swiss - meaning Summary
Quiet Lives Upended
The poem likens ordinary, insulated lives to a calm Swiss scene that is suddenly disturbed by an unexpected afternoon when the Alps part and reveal a different world. That glimpse of Italy across the mountains becomes a metaphor for a startling new awareness or desire that interrupts routine. The Alps act both as guardian and temptation, marking a shift from repose to the unsettling possibility of change and longing.
