Poet: e.e. cummings
Poem: yes is a pleasant country... (XXXVIII)
Comment 7 of 7, added on May 12th, 2007 at 11:09 AM.
I have to write an essay on cummings and I'm using this one to show how he reconciles his Pantheistic and Romantic viewpoints into one poem... it is in essence a love poem but uses images of nature that show his pantheistic influences... I hope. It's the only one I can find that seems to have both in it so hopefully it'll turn out all right. I do like that first line though.

I think it is saying, perhaps, the concept of a lover giving in to him or not. He has used the symbols of 'yes' and 'no' before in poems, and that was the idea that was crossed. Yes as a pleasant country and no as a wintry field signifies that she should say yes to him.
