Interpretation
The grasshopper leaps and fiddles through summer — the fable's improvident musician against the ant's stores. It names present joy versus provision, and the leap that is many times its body.
Positive Resonance
The disproportionate leap, summer sung while it lasts
Shadow Aspect
Winter unprovisioned, the fable's cold ending
Nuances
The summer fiddling: joy taken in season
Winter at the ant's door: improvidence's bill
The great leap: distance beyond the body's suggestion
