  • Essay / EE Cummings' poem I carry your heart with me

    EE ​​Cummings' poem "I carry your heart with me (I carry it)" shows exactly what people really feel, it's like s 'He ripped someone's feelings straight from their heart and put them on paper. This poem is the best explanation of true love there is. He says this woman is his love, he will love her forever and no matter how far she is from him, she will always be in his heart. Nothing could ever make his feelings for her go away. When someone truly loves someone, nothing can stop them from loving that person. They will always have a special place in everyone's hearts. Cummings begins by saying in the first stanza that she is in his heart, then in the second stanza she becomes his world, nothing matters to him anymore. Now, in the third stanza, he tells her that she is his biggest secret, a mystery to everyone. Finally, the most significant part of the poem, in my opinion, is the last stanza, where he simply states. “I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)” (line 14). It seems so simple, but after digging deeper into his explanation of his love, this little statement has a much greater meaning than that of the first stanza. In this beautiful poem, “I Carry Your Heart With Me,” EE Cummings shows how abiding his undying love is for this woman, and how no one and nothing in the world will ever mean more to him. themes of love, and perhaps desire for this woman in this poem, to eventually teach the reader how to love or stay faithful no matter how difficult a fight. Cummings' theme of how strong someone's love can be appeals to readers. minds, because everyone wants that connection with their partner, That undying love for each other. Some people long for a love... middle of paper... for another man, and he still loved her with everything. his heart, it shows how much passion he had in his life. He conveyed this passion through all his work, in my opinion it's what made his poems as good as they are, and how dedicated he is to them. people and things, he would never have been as successful as a poet as he was, and he still is today. 1994. “EE Cummings” Chicago: Harriet Monroe Poetry Institute, 2014.
