since feeling is first

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis
ee cummings




"since feeling is first" is a serious romantic love poem. E. E. Cummings is expounding his favorite 
thesis - emotions, love, poetry, romance are all more important than pedantry, science and logic. "Feeling is first." Do 
and be, and don't worry about order and logic in love life. 

 


kisses are a better fate than wisdom
 
Should be everyone's favorite line, no? 


Of course, Cummings doesn't forget the flowers: "lady i swear by all flowers!" 

As in many other poems, Cummings evokes the urgency of 
life and love that is drive by death: 


death i think is no parenthesis
Compare with earlier poems, where the references is 
more overbearing, such as

if I believe. 

Don't be fooled. Cummings did not heed his admonition 
not to pay attention to the "syntax of things." The easy conversational tone and "casual" appearing layout of these 
poems was the product of enormous labor and planning, experiments with typography and layout, as attested by his copious 
notes. It takes an artist to produce a great work. It takes a master craftsman to make it look easy.

E. E. Cummings' (1894 - 1962) writing and approach 
represented a new departure in poetry. He first flourished in the intellectually innovative and daring world of the 
1920s. His work has never been fully appreciated by critics, but has an avid following among both connoisseurs and 
"ordinary" folk, because his poems touch people directly, especially young people. 
The modern era was born in the 1920s, out of the ruins 
and desolation of World War I. The war smashed more than cities and people. It smashed Victorian conventions and class 
distinctions. Suddenly, people were not afraid to speak and write about sex as something enjoyable and beautiful. This 
was the era of James Joyce's Ulysses and Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, but also, especially in America, the era of 
Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender is the Night." A time of daring and romance in literature. 
His poetry is informed by his unique philosophy of life and 
art. Cummings would laugh at most of the pedantic and trite dissections of his work by "objective" critics. Cummings had 
nothing against science and logic, but he didn't think it applied to feelings. He was intensely against regimentation 
and conventional thinking. His rebellion and unconventionality were symbolized superficially by his refusal to use capital 
letters in his poems, but they went far beyond that.
Typography and layout of the poem were often very 
important to Cummings, who was also an artist. Please note that we will not always be able to be faithful to the 
original typography, because of limitations of the medium. Like some other modern poets, ee cummings' often 
conveyed images and feelings by indirect allusions that would make readers see the images and feel the feelings 
he was feeling, though he also made skilful use of poetic conventions. He also had the gift of making the English 
language do unexpected and wondrous  things, a gift that has made great poetry since the time of Shakespeare and 
before.  

Just remember,........

“Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.”

Great Qualities of Great People...@2

5. They never say 'die'
All people face challenges in life, but unlike others, successful people deal with situations with one view: Do it again if they are fail at their previous attempts. They don't tolerate flaws; they keep on working on them until they fix them.

6. They take up responsibility
Those who are really successful don't hesitate to take up responsibilities. They don't worry about blames or waste time complaining. They truly believe in making decisions and moving on. They take initiatives and accept the responsibilities of success.
7. They take calculated risks
All successful people inherently do take calculated risks all the time. They always assess what kind of a risk they are going to take. They know it well that risk taking doesn't mean jumping headlong into something that they don't know. According to Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, risk is stepping outside your comfort zone to a place where you cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of your actions. Risk is taking on something that holds an enormous chance of failure. Most importantly, risk is the only key to outrageous success.

8. They are solution focused
Successful people look for solutions and when they are focused on a solution, the rest of the world seems to disappear until they stop. They don't simply stop at finding or pointing out at a problem. They move ahead and look for better solutions for that particular problem.
9. They review and celebrate successes, even small ones
Success matters a lot for successful people and they don't forget to celebrate for successes even if they are small. They truly believe that even the smallest success builds into the big picture. They list all the small steps they took that worked well or that they are pleased about. As Warren buffet, the legendary investor, says, "In the business world, the rear view mirror is always clearer than the windshield".

10. They ask the right questions
The simple "Why?" when asked about five times can help us get to the root cause of many problems. All successful people ask the right questions and try to find out the causes the put them in a productive, creative, positive mindset and emotional state.

Great Qualities of Great People...

What made Dhirubhai Ambani, the biggest business giant of India? How Sunil Mittal create India's largest Telecom Company? How did Bill Gates build Microsoft? Every other day we come across people who have reached the zenith of success, leaving an example for others. But how often do we think of what made them reach such a height? There are certain traits inside them that have made it possible for them to exist above the level of simple survival. Are there any particular characteristics they all share that are the basis of their accomplishment? A deeper insight into their lives will show that they have some things in common.

1. They dream big
All people who have touched the zenith of success have an inspiring dream that motivates them to move ahead into the future. They don't limit themselves to mere words like "realistic" or "possible". They go beyond them. They dream as big as they can and adjust their dream with an organized plan as they progress. They clearly distinguish between perception and reality. As Dhirubhai Ambani, who showed that nothing is truly unattainable for those who dream big, once said, "You should dream big, but dream with your eyes open."

2. They think outside the box
"One needs to think differently to survive in the globalized world. To get success, innovation is the key. Think outside the box and do things which no one else has done before". This is what Wipro boss Azim Premji said and rightly so. To get the outcome that you have desired, you need to approach problems in new and innovative ways. This is not just a business scheme, but one of the key success mantras that every successful leader follows.
3. They learn from failures
As we go through life, we're going to make mistakes. But those mistakes provide us with a great opportunity to find a lesson and learn from it. Former President of India Dr. APJ Abdul KalamI once said, "I have gone through many successes and failures. I learnt from failures and hardened myself with courage to face them. This was my second stage, which taught me the crucial lesson of managing failures." Dr. Kalam's contribution to India's defence capabilities is very significant.

4. They create and seize opportunities
A man of success is the one who has the ability to create and seize opportunities to act on a goal. Successful people don't wait for opportunities to knock at their door. They go and create opportunities for themselves and whenever they come across any, they seize it to make full use of it.
