the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses
e. e. cummings
it's spring when the world is puddle-wonderful
e. e. cummings
Every artist's strictly illimitable country is himself. An artist who plays that country false has committed suicide and even a good lawyer cannot kill the dead. But a human being who's true to himself - whoever himself may be - is immortal and all the atomic bombs of all the antiartists in spacetime will never civilize immortality.
e. e. cummings
may i be i is the only prayer--not may i be great or good or beautiful or wise or strong today... may i be me....five foot eleven, brown hair/eyed, smart, serious, happy, frustrated, impatient, joyful, running, sleeping, smiling, eating, trying, believing, listening, being & becoming.

e. e. cummings

e. e. cummings
Here's to opening and upward... and to yourself and up with you and up with and up with laughing.
e. e. cummings
What concerns me fundamentaly is a meteoric burlesk melodrama, born of the immemorial adage love will find a way.
e. e. cummings
And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart [ i carry it in my heart ]
e. e. cummings
wholly to be a fool while Spring is in the world my blood approves, and kisses are a far better fate than wisdom lady i swear by all flowers.
e. e. cummings
XVII Lady, i will touch you with my mind. Touch you and touch and touch until you give me suddenly a smile,shyly obscene (lady i will touch you with my mind.)Touch you,that is all, lightly and you utterly will become with infinite care the poem which i do not write.
e. e. cummings
The Artist is no other than he who unlearns what he has learned, in order to know himself.
e. e. cummings
Next to of course god America i / love you land of the pilgrims and so forth oh
e. e. cummings
guilt is the cause of more marauders than history's most obscene disauders
e. e. cummings
An artist, a man, a failure, must proceed.
