so today after studying (or not studying) for english, I've felt very poetic and musical {hint the lyrics posted earlier} here is my favorite poem. I came upon this lovely poem by e.e. cummings last year in English class. I love it because you just can't wrap your mind around it and it really doesn't make much sense, yet you understand it.
since feeling is first
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
p.s. sorry this post is so jumbled and not consistent at all! that is just how I'm feeling today.
and feeling is first.
