Patrick > Patrick's Quotes

“in spite of everything
which breathes and moves, since Doom
(with white longest hands
neatening each crease)
will smooth entirely our minds

--before leaving my room
I turn, and(stooping
through the morning)kiss
this pillow, dear
where our heads lived and were.”
― E.E. Cummings, 100 Selected Poems

“god's terrible face brighter than a spoon
collects the image of one fatal word;
so that my life(which liked the sun and the moon)
resembles something that has not occurred:
i am a birdcage without any bird
a collar looking for a dog a kiss
without lips;a prayer lacking any knees
but something beats within my shirt to prove
he is undead who living noone is.
I have never loved you dear as now i love.”
― E.E. Cummings, 100 Selected Poems
