The "Sea of Grass" was bigger than all of the players of the story and as fragile as the love that the Colonel (Tracey) had for Lutie (Hepburn) and she for him. The Colonel shared with Lutie a vision of the plains has they had been but could not see what could be as he did with his love for her. Lutie, saw the future but could not honor the past. They lost each other as the grass was lost when it wasn't cared for. But as with the plains, the grass could be brought back with care, understanding, and sacrifice. But perhaps most of all with time. Somewhere between the extremes is a middle point but each must leave the extreme to reach the middle. The Colonel and Lutie found the middle point but after many years of standing at the extremes. Each of us can find ourselves in what they had, lost, and regained.
