Is Love
Is Love - meaning Summary
Birth, Death, and Love
The poem compresses life’s major phases—birth, living, death—into striking images (midwives, winding sheets) and frames existence as a difficult journey. The speaker questions purpose and continuity, asking whether something essential is lost between birth and death and whether love might be the sustaining answer. It presents an open-ended, contemplative interrogation of meaning rather than resolving its doubts, leaving readers with the uneasy, searching tone of cosmic rumour.
Read Complete AnalysesMidwives and winding sheets know birthing is hard and dying is mean and living's a trial in between. Why do we journey, muttering like rumors among the stars? Is a dimension lost? Is it love?
