Death and Parenthesis

From Weekly I/O#95


"And death i think is no parenthesis" — E. E. Cummings

Poem: since feeling is first

Love this poem from E. E. Cummings (or stylized as 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

Another poem from e e cummings I really like is love is more thicker than forget.
