A Voice from I Don’t Know Where - meaning Summary
Happiness Amid Unanswered Questions
The poem presents a calm exchange in which a speaker affirms love for the world, acceptance of an endlessly questioning mind, and the comfort of intimate human connection. Its final claim of happiness does not deny uncertainty or difficulty. Instead, it suggests that wonder, unanswered questions, and affection can coexist, making a life feel deeply worthwhile.

Busy, busy, all the time.” And you don’t mind living with those questions, I mean the hard ones, that no one can answer? “Actually, they’re the most interesting.” And you have a person in your life whose hand you like to hold? “Yes, I do.” It must surely, then, be very happy down there in your heart. “Yes,” I said. “It is.”
