Mark
strand is a surrealist. Therefore the image that he creates in his work seems alien
or uncommon to us. However he always writes on common theme. Through the
present poem also he wants to appeal for universal brotherhood a kind of
wholeness against all the usual fragmentation that appears in our life.
The poet tells when he is in a field he finds himself absent there.
It happens because he allows his own individual entity to submerge into a
bigger entity in the field. By doing so he does not lose anything rather he is
recognized as a greater body. According to him it is always the same case with
him. Wherever he goes he finds himself absent there.
However, it is the human tendency to make things apart rather than keeping it whole, such attempts can never succeed because the universe is one. He has given an example to prove his point when h walks in a field his body parts the air as it moves forward. But immediately after he moves forward vacuum created by his body is filled with air. Thus he is not able to part things at last. Rather he joins at his back too.
According to the poet everybody has some projects or goals in his life. His mission is to keep things whole.
