e.e. cummings was a genius


now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened
===========================
it's so damn sweet when Anybody—
…makes you feel
…for once(imag
-ine) You
===========================
Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel …
the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself.
To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else— means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
===========================
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.
===========================
unlove's the heavenless hell and the homeless home
