e.e. cummings got it right
This ee cummimgs poem has always moved me. I hope the resilience of the planet works with us to heal, repair and transform the green globe back to where it can thrive forever.
O sweet spontaneous earth how often have the doting
fingers of prurient philosophers pinched and poked
thee ,has the naughty thumb of science prodded thy
beauty .how often have religions taken thee upon their scraggy knees squeezing and
buffeting thee that thou mightst conceive gods (but true
to the incomparable couch of death thy rhythmic lover
thou answerest
them only with
spring)
Thank you , e.e. wherever you are. I recommend everyone goout and get a book of his terrific poetry.
