I have just read the poem and my initial reactions were that it reminded me
of old ladys staggering up to the bach, but once the get there they find
their younger persona once again; which in tern makes them come alive!
Sorry, I'm a dance student so i see everything in a sense of movement and
colour! please comment on my interpretation- for i have no idea and cant
find what he actually said! lol

I believe the true genius of this poem is the mystery that radiates from
it. At first it seems like a meaningless doodle, yet, as the vaugeness of
it sinks in, you realize you don't REALLY know what he ment. cummings left
us in the dark to discover our own opinions at the seashore.

i think this poem has a brilliant message about personality and finding
yourself. In this case a beach, where many years ago you would have found
yourself with not as many troubles. I agree with the ccomment on looking at
what Maggie found at the beach, as she is significant and should be a
symbol/idol in what we all should hopefully find in ourselves. Very moving
piece!

Wow! I love that poem! It makes lots of sense and makes really good
connections. Where do you get these ideas.

I think that this poem is about 4 different personalities of one woman. the
light language contrasts with the deep meaning. It is about lonliness,
isolation and inner self. Life can sem perfect on the outside, but inside,
you are crying out and need to escaoe from your problems.

ok so i'm not a poetry buff or anything, but i understood this poem as a
discovery of personality traits. each girl finds out something different
about themselves. i think that
"may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone."
can be interpreted as how no matter how big the world is, or how many
people someone has that love and care about that person, he or she could
still be very lonely.

e.e. cummings rocks. This is one of my all-time favorite peoms in the
world. And I believe that-
'may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.' is the most memorable line is
this poem, and perhaps at LEAST the second best piece of a poem in the
world.
It comes off as meaning many different things to everyone, but no matter
what it means, it always has a GREAT meaning. To be able to do that with
just two lines of poetry is a wonderous thing. It speaks to the soul, and
all that.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading these comments about the poem. I am
about to give a vocal recital this comming February and am doing research
on my pieces. One of the pieces I am singing is "Seashore Girls" which is
a musical setting of this poem by Richard Hundley. If any of you get a
chance, you should find a copy of it. I found a few online, but they
aren't the best in terms of quality.
I just thought I'd share. It's a beautiful setting. Hundley really
captured what cummings wanted to say. Thanks again for the insight.
