since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
this is th best stanza. basically it's telling you to live in the moment
and don't think about what you're doing too much. which is 100% what i need
to do. this is definately my favorite e e cummings poem.

when i read this poem for the very first time i felt so happy i just well
shed tears of joy (i put this comment in lower case letters because that is
what e.e. cummings did)

i believe that the last two verses :
"we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis"
i think he means that we shouldnt take life so by the book. we need to
actually live to die. and in terms of love, i believe he means that death
doesnt stop love, it can't conquer it. it only delays it for some time. we
should rejoice in the time we're given to spend with each other, but not
mourn the passing of those around us as lost. just delayed.

So this poem is absolutely amazing. I'm not good at interpreting poems and
the meaning of them or anything like that, but the first time i read this i
was moved. He is def. on my list of fav poets now. I personally think ti
can be read both ways though, not just from top - bottom or bottom - top.
But that's just me.

this poem has a very meaningfull feeling flowing along with it and thats
what i like about poems they have to have meaning and they have to make the
writter get a picture in there head of what ever it is that they are
reading

It is interesting read bottom to top, especially the first few lines. I
believe it can also be interpreted top to bottom though. I find it
interesting that he appears to be calling his love "Spring" as in when love
is in the air, his whole body approves (even if his mind does not making
him a fool). Then, he swears by all flowers which could be interpreted as
swearing by his love and all things that make up his love. I think he is
saying that love is firstmost felt and by trying to define it with words,
you never wholly grasp it. He is saying you should just let yourself be a
fool and accept love as it is in its innocence. I love Cummings. You pick
up on new things each time you read his poetry.
