@violashutters I agree completely.

This poem is one of the most deep poems I have ever read. E.E. Cummings is an inspiring figure. At first glance this is a "what?" poem, but as you get into it you realize how interesting it is. Where did you get a hold of this recording - it's amazing.
-
He is so amazing. I can never tire of his voice in poetry!
-
Actually it refers to actual people, for instance "anyone" and "noone"

@MasterFreespirit You're welcome. :)

@taurusgirl65 Thank you. I appreciate your insight.

@MasterFreespirit and he is also talking about how people know they are loved, when a person is married, how they grew up in a certain environment "hence pretty how town", etc and how each memory plays a wonderful or sad part.

@MasterFreespirit It seems like Cummings is expressing the time frame of the seasons and what people may or may not experience. For instance, he discusses how people may or may not remember a certain memory from their childhood as they grow up; another for instance is when he talks about "anyone died I guess" he seems to express how the dead are buried together side by side how what was, was and what will be will be. And some experience wonderful memories through each frame. Hope this helps.

Is this an original reciting by Cummings? Would really like to cite this reading in a critical analysis I am writing, could you let me know the source?
Thanks

@redshelly69 What do you mean by "original reciting"? It's him, yes. He wrote the poem, yes. Further than that, I'm afraid I can't help you.
