One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The Queen Anne's Lace lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.
The beautiful changes as a forest is changed
By a chameleon's tuning his skin to it;
As a mantis, arranged
On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.
Your hands hold roses always in a way that says
They are not only yours; the beautiful changes
In such kind ways,
Wishing ever to sunder
Things and things' selves for a second finding, to lose
For a moment all that it touches back to wonder.
Can you be really specific also.
What is the meaning of this poem by Richard Wilbur "The Beautiful Changes?
Most poems are terribly personal in interpretation. This one speaks of an intense, and sensual connection with nature. In describing the meadow as the sea, the writer transforms earth to water. In symbolism, water is fertile, emotional, and sensual. He also speaks that each part of nature enhances the other parts, sort of a mini-ecology lesson (probably unintentional). There is also mentioned "second finding," which would imply that looking at something a "second" time, you may see different aspects of its beauty. Does any of this help?
