Question: What does this line from a poem mean!?

1] “A children's faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup”

I think it means that the kid is looking up to see what beautiful things he/she has in their life!.

For me!?

1!. I think the children are looking up and holding (as in grasping), onto wonder (or curiosity, hope, or belief, or all of those things that we are able to believe in so faithfully when we are children but gradually fade away)!. The simile 'like a cup' makes me picture them wanting their cup to be filled, as in, they are asking the world, "Do you really have beauty!? Love!? Magic!? I want wonder, it seems to be fading!."

2!. Gold, while valuable and precious, is also very malleable (can be bent and formed easily)!. 'Music like a curve of gold' makes me think that music can be thought of many different ways by different people and can affect each person differently (in other words, it is malleable) and perhaps because of this it is precious and valuable (gold)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1) I think it's a child looking up to see suprises in thier life!.

2) I think it's reffering to the sound of music!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
