(via eecummings)
I like e.e. cummings’ unique writing style.
I like this particular poem because it is about death. I am fascinated by death.
I like how he says dying is natural, a part of life. But when we talk about Death, we’re talking scientifically, artificially, in legal terms and in relation to morality. Dying is something that simply happens. Death is the complex meaning we give to it.
