by e. e. cummings may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it’s sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there’s never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile IP: Logged |

Awww I always enjoyed reading ee cummings - a pioneer of his time, with a style that is incredibly difficult to do well. He is a perfect example of someone who mastered the rules and learned how to break them skilfully.I always loved the line 'i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)' ------------------

He is a perfect example of someone who mastered the rules and learned how to break them skilfully.I always loved the line 'i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)' And this stanza from 'Somewhere I have never Travelled, Gladly beyond' quote:
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
