The last stanza of the poem is very interesting. Within four lines the poet
summarises the human life in the world. Human beings come to the world,
live for years witnessing all the seasons anyway they like and then
inevitably die and go back to God. "went their came" to me means, return to
the place of origin.

I see now. I couldn't see what he was talking about, but now...

This is one of my favorite poems of all time. It's gorgeous and it
beautifully explains how everyone dreams when they're young, but never
works for their dreams. People go through life half-asleep going through
the motions and then dying... it's a wonderful poem.

When I first read this poem I tought it was jibberish but after I read it a
couple of times it became one of my favorite poems. You need to break the
rules once and while and thats what he does and that makes the poem and
peot even better.

E.E. Cummings was not only a poet, but also a painter with words. He
doesn't paint as most writers do by giving vivid details, but he does so by
unique word order and gramatical usages. Just reading the line "spring
summer autumn winter," I pictured all the seasons passing rapidly, giving
me a send of the passage of time.

Something everyone--especially English Lit majors--should know: English is
an art. Don't ruin it with rules. e.e. cummings is brilliant and
avant-garde, and it's not a matter of understanding word for word right
away--it's the feeling evoked in the reader after reading the poem.
Seriously--scrap your rules. You'll be amazed at how free you can be.

It is a very experimental poem. It might be difficult to read but it is
humanly-possible to understand:)

I think it is a very expiramental poem. It might be dificult, but it is
humanly-possible to understand.

ı am an english literature student and ı can hardly understand
what he means in his poems because he uses a different style in ihs poems.
when ı first read one of his poems ı thougt that Cummings doesnt
know English because he he didnt obey the grammatical rules and use
grammatical rules in a different style.

I thought it was good. I have to write a paper on him in English class but
the way he writes really makes you think about what he's trying to say.
