The Heart and e.e. cummings
On this Valentine’s Week, we’d like to present you with a poem: e.e. cummings’ i carry your heart with me. Reading or sending poetry to your loved one on Valentine’s Day (or even better just any old day) costs nothing, is oh so romantic, and is perfectly perfect.
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
