Assignment #9

For Assignment 9, I choose this metaphor..

“You were the wind and I the sea.” (From “After Love” by Sara Teasdale)

I believe Sara Teasdale was trying to compare herself with someone else. After reading the whole poem, it seems like the author is talking about a person and not about the sea and the wind itself. The wind represents a significant other and as she states it, she represents the sea. She states that they are close to each other but yet far. She was probably in love with a person but her love faded away and now she sees him as any other person.
