e.e. cummings - in spite of everything

in spite of everything
which breathes and moves,since Doom
(with white longest hands
neatening each crease)
will smooth entirely our minds 

-before leaving my room
i turn,and(stooping
through the morning)kiss
this pillow,dear
where our heads lived and were.

If you know Cummings history, you know that he had been married three times. His first marriage had to have been the hardest. He didnt just loose his wife, but his daughter. Also he was not expecting this divorse. I believe this poem symbolises that way Cummings felt after his wife left with his daughter. He missed them...both.....Bee Bee from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem? Perhaps you are trying to analyze it?
