Poet: e.e. cummings Poem: O sweet spontaneous Poem of the Day: Sep 19 2000 Comment 5 of 5, added on April 20th, 2010 at 6:59 PM. O Sweet Spontaneous This is wrong.....should be "prurient philosophers" PaulRDay Comment 4 of 5, added on March 17th, 2010 at 6:59 PM. I find it interesting that cummings chose to describe the earth as "spontaneous" in the first line of the poem, and death as its "rhythmic lover". I would have thought that death was the more spontaneous of the two, and earth's rhythmic cycles are the very opposite of spontaneous.
