Interpret This poem: somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond by E.E. CummingsExplain literal meaning 2?

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond


any experience,your eyes have their silence:


in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,


or which i cannot touch because they are too near





your slightest look will easily unclose me


though i have closed myself as fingers,


you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens


(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose





or if your wish be to close me, i and


my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,


as when the heart of this flower imagines


the snow carefully everywhere descending;


nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals


the power of your intense fragility:whose texture


compels me with the color of its countries,


rendering death and forever with each breathing





(i do not know what it is about you that closes


and opens;only something in me understands


the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)


nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands





identify7 different literary elements!!

Interpret This poem: somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond by E.E. CummingsExplain literal meaning 2?
1. anthropomorphism of inanimate things


2. analogy


3. contradiction


4. comparison


5. contrast


6. conflation (the voice of your eyes)


7. hyperbole





The meaning: we are all separate, yet we are all one; the "sense" of these two disparate conditions continuously fluxes.
