In the next line there are more juxtapositions, "(with up so floating many bells down)". The rhythm and vowels are similar to the motion and sounds of bells. This line appears again later in the poem, and it signifies passing time.

The next line is an ordered list of the seasons, symbolizing again the passage of time and describing anyone's life events as occurring continuously. The activities are either failures (his didn't) or successes (his did). Regardless of the outcome, anyone is singing and dancing, happily.

Second Stanza:
Women and men of the society are described as "little and small", not refering to physical size but their capacity and willingness to take risks and be different. In the next line, "anyone" serves a double meaning. The townspeople did not care for the individual named anyone, nor do they care for any of each other. They do not attempt anything (sowed their isn't) outside their known habits (they reaped their same). The next line is a list of the sun and moon and weather conditions, signifying the that the townspeople never change their routines like other things do.

Third Stanza: Children are intriduced as innocent, and because of their innocence, can see the love noone has for anyone's individuality. Now noone's name has a double meaning because it could symbolize the lover of the man represented as anyone, and it connotates that literally noone cares for anyone. The line expresses the degree of noone's love ("more by more") as well as anyone's intense isolation from the rest of society. The children's ability to see this love fades with the passing of time as they get older. The list of seasons begins with Autumn, which leads into winter, a symbol of death and sleep.The seasons describing anyone started with spring, is a symbol of rebirth and change, characteristic of his personality.

Fourth Stanza: Noone and anyone live spontaneously for the present ("when by now"), and benefit largely from small things (tree by leaf). "Tree by leaf" also refers to parts as the sum of a whole, suggesting the depth of anyone and noone's shared experiences. Noone partakes in all of anyone's activities, laughing and crying with him. The symbols bird and snow describe the seasons. "Stir by still" connotates rest and motion, but the "by" implies that even at rest, this couple was dynamic. The next line, "anyone's any was all to her" explains how much noone loved everything about anyone, as well as reinforcing the isolation motif.

Fifth Stanza: The non-specific "someones" marrying their "everyones" shows Cummings' attitude towards marriage. Anyone and noone have love, but aren't married. Marriage is a social convention ("did their dance") that does not necessarily have to do with love. The paradoxical line "laughed their cryings" is an example of ordinary couples' lack of understanding, implying incomplete love. It also suggests insensitivity, because they laugh at people's cryings.

"Did their dance" is an inversion of anyone's "danced his did", another example contrasting anyone with everyone. The townspeople continue their cycle of sleeping, waking, and hoping, although hope achieves nothing as long as they say "their nevers". They restrict their hopes and dreams to the realm of sleep ("slept their dream") instead of acting being different by following their dreams.

Sixth Stanza: This stanza describes the passage of time, as children grow up and become everyones. The snow archetype is present here again, symbolizing the end of children's innocence, as they "forget to remember" the happiness anyone achieves, opting for society's mechanical activities.

Seventh Stanza: The narrator tells us of anyone's death with a resigned apathy. There is a lack of capitalization of "i" which enforces this idea further. The narrator knows that this event will not change the townspeople. It also evokes the unconcern the townspeople have for anyone, how they allow events to just pass by. The double meaning of "noone" is used again to display this detatchment ("noone stooped to kiss his face").

Eighth Stanza: Anyone and noone are buried together, their physical bodies returning to dust, becoming "earth by april", but they become part of a shared dream ("dream their sleep").

Ninth Stanza: The townspeople take no notice of the deaths and continue their cycle. When they die, they achieve nothing ("reaped their sowing", when they sowed nothing in the second stanza). They merely become dust and disappear forever ("went their came"), as opposed to anyone and noone, who achieve immorality, like the eternal sun, moon, and stars. There are only two periods in the poem, each occurring before "Women and men". This is a disruption in the poem, signifying the townspeople as an disruption in the order of the universe, while anyone and noone blend in. The poem does not begin with a capitalized letter, nor does it end with a period, showing the cycle of life because the beginning of life is like the end, and the world is without you before you are born, and goes back to being without you after you die.
