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) -- E. E. Cummings Thank you , e.e. wherever you are. I recommend everyone goout and get a book of his terrific poetry.
