What Fields Are as Fragrant as Your Hands? - meaning Summary
Intimate Preservation of the Beloved
The poem addresses a beloved with urgent, sensual language and images of fragrance, hair, and stars. The speaker desires closeness and to soothe the beloved, asking for a mouth to soften and offering caresses that aim to surround and preserve her inner self. It moves from sensory admiration to a wish to lift faded expectation and to shelter intimate places through tender protection and enfolding attention.
Read Complete AnalysesWhat fields are as fragrant as your hands? You feel how external fragrance stands upon your stronger resistance. Stars stand in images above. Give me your mouth to soften, love; ah, your hair is all in idleness. See, I want to surround you with yourself and the faded expectation lift from the edges of your eyebrows; I want, as with inner eyelids sheer, to close for you all places which appear by my tender caresses now.
