Quote #4
someones married their everyones
laughed their crying and did their dance (17-18)
While noone and anyone are in love, all kinds of other people are getting married and having beautiful lives together. These lives are filled with happiness and sadness. The problem is that this love never seems to extend beyond the couple or their immediate family.
Quote #5
noone stooped to kiss his face (26)
When anyone finally dies, noone is at his funeral to kiss his face. We all knew this day would come eventually. Almost all lovers are separated by death at one point or another. That's why it's so important that we do our best to love well in the time we have.
Quote #6
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes (31-32)
By the end of the poem, noone and anyone have both died and have been buried in the soft April ground. But that's okay because they did their best to love each other while they were still alive. That's good enough for Cummings.
