Dream Love as Truer
Pound's short lyric urges the beloved to prize visionary, spiritual love over mundane attachment. The speaker dismisses "base" love and invokes ephemeral images — wind and dreams — as truer avenues for connection. The closing line reveals why: the speaker approaches and unites with the beloved only within dream-space. The poem frames longing as an inward, imaginative encounter rather than a physical or social bond.
