When you love a man, he becomes more than a body. His physical limbs expand, and his outline recedes, vanishes. He is rich and sweet and right. He is part of the world, the atmosphere, the blue sky and the blue water.

The passage describes how romantic love alters perception: the beloved is no longer apprehended as a bounded physical object but as something diffuse, enlarged, and interwoven with the surrounding world. The language of expansion and vanishing outline suggests that love dissolves ordinary limits—between self and other, body and environment—so that the loved person becomes an atmosphere or element rather than a mere figure. Calling him “rich and sweet and right” captures love’s tendency to idealize and to confer moral and aesthetic certainty. The final images (“blue sky” and “blue water”) elevate private feeling into a cosmic register, implying that love can make the world feel coherent, luminous, and whole.
