e.e. cumming's "since feeling is first"
The name of my blog comes from one of my favorite poems by E.E. Cummings. I thought I'd include it here for your reading enjoyment!
since feeling is first
By: E. E. Cummings
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
– the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says
we are for each other; then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis
