“You were the wind and I the sea.” (From “After Love” by Sara Teasdale)
Teasdale metaphor about her and I'm assuming her lover depicts what I believe is not a typical "fairy tale" love. Perhaps she is physically or verbally abused by the one who the line is directed at much like the wind tosses about the sea. Or maybe it IS a happier, more mutual love in which the wind is guiding the waves of the sea to the shore.
