e.e. cummings - i thank you God for most this amazing

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
wich is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

Title case

I stl wonder y Cummings used such title case. Either than that its a beautiful religous poem.. He couldnt hv said it better.

I love this poem it’s so beautiful. i recite it most mornings and it fulfils me when I’m not feeling so as EE Cummings puts it" natural, infinite and yes". The perfection that every human being is cause they where created by God it’s an amazing analogy.
I never thought that the word 'yes' could be used to describe perfection but then what is more positive than that word. Wow what an amazing writer, his use of punctuation is very interesting too
I absolutely adore this poem

Typography

Cummings did not misspell "which" as "wich"
