Rebecca, I thought the same thing as I pondered about the dress every day and the girl/boy or boy/girl reference. I thought that maybe this might be about more than just a girl who climbed trees and explored nature. Perhaps there's not an exploration here so much as a rebellion against what is. Thanks for bringing me back there; it would make for a more interesting perspective and discussion of the sonnet for sure. Actually, that would take this sonnet to a whole other level . . . simple but really, truly not.
