__e.e. cummings__



 __Biography:__ Edward Estlin Cummings was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 14, 1894. His parents always encouraged him to develop his creative gifts. His first poems were published at Cambridge Latin high school in the Cambridge Review, the school newspaper. He used Latin and Greek in his poetry. Cummings studied in Harvard from 1911 to 1916, and he graduated with a master arts degree in English and classical studies in 1916. The 1920’s was perhaps Cummings’ most productive and unorthodox period. Cummings was greatly affected by the death of his father, after the tragic train accident his works show tragedy and sadness. He died in New Hampshire in 1962 at the age of 67, and just when America was ready to appreciate his work.

Poems: __i carry your heart with me __ i carry your heart with me i carry it in my heart i am never without it anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling i fear no fate for you are my fate, my sweet i want no world for beautiful you are my world, my true and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars

apart

i carry your heart i carry it in my heart



__maggie and milly and molly and may __

maggie and milly and molly and may went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea

__a pretty day __  a pretty a day (and every fades) is here and away (but born are maids to flower an hour in all,all)

o yes to flower until so blithe a doer a wooer some limber and lithe some very fine mower a tall;tall

some jerry so very (and nellie and fan) some handsomest harry (and sally and nan they tremble and cower so pale:pale)

for betty was born to never say nay but lucy could learn and lily could pray and fewer were shyer than doll. doll
