All up and down the dunes, the tall green grasses dance, as the wind plays lively tunes across the sandy expanse. but the moon above is a statue, silent and somber and still, its reflection on the sea is a tattoo, that we watch from upon the hill. how does personification affect the first stanza's meaning? it suggests that the speaker feels distant from the rest of the world. it creates the impression that the world of nature is alive with interactions. it implies that the wind and grasses are somehow not real. it hints that the speaker is alarmed, or even frightened, by the surrounding environment.

The personification affects the first stanza's meaning as:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
