CIRCLES IN NATUREPAGE 23-28

The theme of “who knows if the moon’s” I that our imagination can take us anyplace we'd like to go. The theme of “circles” is that we can observe magnificence in ordinary everyday things as well as in our universe.

Esbensen repeats the phrases did you see, out and out and out, and think of. The phrase out and out and out I stretched across several lines. This adds to the meaning of the poem because it actually shows the words moving out. The phrases did you see and think of make the poem sound like a conversation. The poet uses these phrase to establish intimacy with the reader.
The narrator imagines the moon as a hot-air balloon taking him and the reader up to a marvelous city in the sky where everything is perfect. The example of the balloon is symbolic; it represents our imaginations: the poet is telling us that our imaginations can take us away; we are not as limited as we may think we are.

Cummings uses typography as well as punctuation to make certain words and sounds seem longer. Esbensen puts words on the page in such a way that they look somewhat like half circles, like ripples of previous stanzas bouncing off the sides of the margins. She also uses typography to visually represent the outward movement of some circles in nature, particularly with the lines that include out and out and out.
