Since Feeling Is First - Interpretation
from Riff Beach · host Riff Beach
Ever my Favorite Poet and a most, most interesting person to me since learning about him during my childhood, I have always loved ' ee cummings '. That is primarily how he always wrote his name - all lower case. Loved his renegade, Pirate soul and mis-Use of letters and words - violating every known rule of the english language to formulate incredible poetry, stories, ideas, etc... So, I thought, "why not interpret a poem of his that I like - among the many?" Here is my first run at one........... Since Feeling Is First by ee cummings since feeling is first who pays any attention to the syntax of things will never wholly kiss you wholly to be a fool while Spring is in the world my blood approves and kisses are a better fate than wisdom lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry the best gesture of my brain is less than your eyelids' flutter which says 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 Written by Edward Estlin > (e e) cummings
