Interpret the poem "Queen-Anne's-Lace."

The key device used by the poet in this poem is personification; he describes the flower Queen Anne's Lace as if it were a lover, combining the literal (the plant is powerful, "taking / the field by force; the grass / does not rise above it") with the figurative ("wherever / his hand has lain there is / a tiny purple blemish").
We may assume that the "he" in the poem represents the sun, driving the flowers to "blossom under his touch." As the sun and the Queen Anne's Lace are characterized as lovers, so the white spread of bloom across the field, the result of their growth together, is described as "desire," spreading in the form of blossoms. Like desire, too, the spread of blossom seems to reach a climax, after which the field is "empty," the flowers scattered as the "wish to whiteness" has gone over and the flowers have receded with the end of spring.
