from "No Thanks": 61... e.e. cummings... |
love's function is to fabricate unknownness |
(known being wishless;but love,all of wishing) though life's lived wrongsideout,sameness chokes oneness truth is confused with fact,fish boast of fishing |
and men are caught by worms(love may not care if time totters,light droops,all measures bend nor marvel if a thought should weigh a star -dreads dying least;and less,that death should end) |
how lucky lovers are(whose selves abide under whatever shall discovered be) whose ignorant each breathing dares to hide more than most fabulous wisdom fears to see |
(who laugh and cry)who dream,create and kill while the whole moves;and every part stands still: |
