Edward Estlin Cummings

Description:

Edward Estlin Cummings, commonly known as E.E. Cummings, was an American poet, painter, essayist, and playwright. He is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential poets of the 20th century. Cummings' unique style challenged traditional grammar and syntax, using lowercase letters, unconventional capitalization, and experimental punctuation to create distinct visual and auditory effects in his poetry. His works often explored themes of love, nature, individualism, and the human experience.

Sample Sentences:

1. "Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present, you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day."
2. "I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
   my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
   I go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
   by only me is your doing,my darling)"
3. "The snow doesn't give a soft white damn whom it touches."
