Witch-Wife • 1917
And her voice is a string of colored beads, Or steps leading into the sea.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A voice is described through color, texture and movement rather than sound alone. Beads suggest separate bright elements joined together, while steps toward the sea suggest an invitation to follow. The shifting comparisons make the voice vivid without reducing its attraction to a single quality.
