[love is more thicker than forget]
love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is more mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky
This passage attempts to describe the emotion poem. It states that love is "less always than to win less never than alive." I can't interpret this poem real well. Can someone please give me their view of this poem?
ReplyDeleteThsi poem is basiccly describing love. Line four it states that more often than not love will succed. The other lines also descibe love and how love cannot die. It is a very discriptive peom and uses personal stly becuae there are no capital letters. Overall a very intersting poem.
ReplyDeleteThe poem tries to explain in words the complex nature of love. Several instances of the words "less" and "more," especially where the comparative degree of the adjective is already used ("more thicker," "less bigger"), identify seeming opposites as two sides of the same coin. The last stanza says that love is sensible and righteous, in contrast to the idea in the second stanza that love is "mad and moonly," covert and orgasmic; both stanzas, though, seem to agree that love is unbounded and unending. Between the oddities of the diction and the recurring paradoxes, cummings somehow manages to express love's ineffability.
