unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home
of knowledgeable shadows(quick to seize
each nothing which all souless wraiths proclaim
substance;all heartless spectres,happiness)
lovers alone wear sunlight. The whole truth
not hid by matter;not by mind revealed
(more than all dying life,all living death)
and never which has been or will be told
sings only-and all lovers are the song
Here(only here)is freedom always here
no then of winter equals now of spring;
but april's day transcends november's year
(eternity being so sans until
twice I have lived forever in a smile)
[E.E. Cummings {1894-1962} 'unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home', from 95 Poems]
