About This Quote
In “The Grass That Listens” by Dawn Powell, the author speaks from the perspective of a woman who has lost her lover. She speaks about love without any reservations. She is honest with the grass and shows that the grass understands what she is saying. In a way, she is almost using a metaphor for love itself.
That is, love isn’t always completely honest with itself. Sometimes, love has to be made to understand that it cannot be fully trusted by itself or others.
