lovely lovely poem
somewhere i have never travelledby e.e.cummings
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing whihc we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
*the poem is meant ta not hav capital letters besides the word 'Spring'
THIS POEM IS AWESOME. TOTALLY LOVE IT MORE THEN HARDY.
its the sorta poems which expresses deep deep love in such a subtle way. juz the freaking romantic imagery of the whole poem makes me melt....... n theres wad mrs lofthouse says of how u feel when u are in love... haz... u wanna protect the person... HOHO. its sorta the u gotta feel it urself love i guess.. gosh. haven been sleeping in lit.... poems like this keep me awake i tell u... haz.. n suddenly my passion for lit arises again... its takes so lil ta get me motivated n so lil ta make me lose all the pssion i hav for a subject.. juz like lep.. can u believe i passed my zhuo wen.. eva since i came ta tj las year my zhuo wen all fail one sia... n finally... i passed it with a mark thats hardly juz pass... im like astonished.. thank god it means theres sumone who can read MY chinese... :)
theres this book i borrowed thats darn nice... though erm ya it speaks pretty explicitly n frequently bout reproduction. 'reproduction' sounds so medical..... sci-cey... haz... o wells the storyline is fabulous.. but being the impatient reader im i juz go thru the book darn quickly ta get da gist of the story... o wells... gonna read it a second time ta appreciate the language. anyways... heres the storyline... and its pretty complictaed... i know. write it out in point form... i mean type out. haz.
and so the story goes....
~main character Deirdre's parenst die when she was young and she wenta live with her grandma who later gave her to a convent
~her parents had this mystical love story bout how her father hunted birds n her mother was always n i mean ALWAYS with her father
~so Deirdre grows up in the convent n falls in love with a fellow convent gal traning ta b a nun(Bairbre) *scandalous
~to be closer ta Bairbre she decides ta b a nun too
~however she is introduced to Manus, a guy whos Bairbre's brother and falls in love with him
~she marries Manus and is controlled by her tyrannical mother-in-law who controls almost every aspect of her n her husband's life
~she realises the truth behind Bairbre being a nun which is..................... they belong to a family where one family member from the family line has ta becum a member of the church... however the mother-in-law din wna her son ta b a preist n so sends Bairbre against her wishes ta b a nun... n Bairbre eva willingly ta please her mum agrees ta do so
~Bairbre gives birth to 2 girls who arent adored at all by her mother-in-law as she wants a grandosn ta b a preist in the future
~ anyways th mother-in-law is terribly unreasonable as she wants a grandson ta b a preist so as to atone for how she herself abandoned her sisterhood ta marry my father-in-law
~Bairbre is raped by her husband after her newborn son dies and thus refuses ta forgiv him
~seriously that guys a wimp listening ta his mum at every thing. but still he really is pathetic coz he doenst hav a fren, is really really lonely, wife doesnt forgive him n treats him like air, and has ta resort ta talkin ta ar so that he can impress the only fren he has who is definitly a bad influence(he drinking excessively n visting prostitues)
~Bairbre's daughters grow up each of a different character n r sent ta da convent depsite her objections
................ haven end...ITS JUZ TOO MUCH DETAILS IM SO SORRY. anyways the book is called 'The Marriage Bed' and i guess its a good read but gets preety boring coz... its juz so much of elaboration that drones on n on n on.. n so its the o-they-did-this-o-they-did-that kinda reading n movin on...
i love shows that depict real life n how ppl strive thru the problems they hav, makes me sob like mad, anyways im pretty cryable nowadays so dun get me started............. Family Law is GOOD. i love the show..... :)
frenships r weird. i think. sumtimes i feel its LIKE... if ya dun lose the person u neva know how they had been there... or rather u only cherish when ya lose... sumtimes it strikes me dat wad vonny said mayb rite.... if i giv in too much, i only get taken advantage of... but still wads a frenship if u dun giv ur all... but still i guess the affection one gives to another cna neva b measured equally... uh-huh! measure for measure... u neva know if the person u giv ur all to will giv their all bac ta u... WEIRD.
i think a mother's love for their child will always b the greatest. after all the pain they go thu ta deliver a child inot the world. they really are wonderful. :)
