in a world where you can step outside and be stripped down to the simplest
of being, yourself lost...it is important to love the one who made it all
disappear. even if that one is no longer with you.

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

to have lost a loved one and to write about it without being so obvious and
casual with the wording so that in too much simplicity, like "my wife died
last night", the moment would be lost, for there must be some obscurity and
yet a direct cord to the sentiment, is something this poet has mastered.
Cummings, you are so good at this.
