why do the fingers
of the little once beautiful lady
(sitting sewing at an open window this fine morning)
fly instead of dancing
are they possibly afraid that life is running away from them
(i wonder)
or isn't she aware that life (
who never grows old)
is always beautiful and that nobody beautiful ever hurries
can't get enough of EE Cummings. I got his Complete Works for Christmas a couple years ago and it continues to be one of my favorite treasures. I cannot wait to start taking poetry classes in the spring! As of now, my poetry skills are N/A, just waiting to be developed.
I've been wanting to do a series of posts on some of my favorite belongings, so this is post 1! I got the cummings complete works for Christmas three years ago, and it has been one of my favorite things since. I love his work: it is sweet and quirky, and doesn't really give a damn who likes it or doesn't. I love being able to look through this book randomly and find new favorites every time. Keep on the look out for more of my favorite things in the next couple weeks!
