Incredible. An almost ancient composition of Jungian archetypes strung together by human fiber, fired out of the cannon of experience into a tiny glass filled with failure, contempt, resignation and shot through the firmament of reality with a frailty of childhood and the cool demeanor of the Chesshire Cat (only spelled correctly, of course) he mutters . . . . .
Thank you for posting this... It is one of the truly chilling, and moving pieces of audible art. Can anyone say GOOSE PIMPLES! (Honk)

Actually this passage is from one of two plays by Cummings, titled HIM. His other published play is called, Santa Claus.

@Kailoa36 Yeah, I realized that after I had posted it. Hey, but the important thing is that this is available online, right?

@kpg51876 Absolutely right and thanks for making available on YouTube. Cummings is my favorite poet and painter.
