Somewhere I have never travelled
Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond
This poem really hit home for me. Not only is it beautiful, and meaningful but it also gives you room to interpret it in different ways. E.E Cummings, the way he starts out, saying he has gone to a place he has never been before and he’s happy. He uses so many metaphors and allegories. Although the poem seems to be saying he has actually gone somewhere, it is not literal. He is saying to a new state of mind. He has guarded himself from love, and now that he let love him he is happier than he can explain.
Cummings wrote this poem so fabulously. His vague but heavy details make this poem what it is. He gives you a little, that goes a LONG way. I feel like he was very effective in the simplicity. The words aren’t too complicated where you don’t enjoy reading the poem because you’re totally lost. It was amazing how he compared this feeling to things we might not necessarily have first hand experience with, but we knew EXACTLY what he was trying to say. If you can get through to your audience even while being so metaphorical the level of your writing is phenomenal.
I am going to skip the part of this writing where I explain what I think was ineffective about the piece of work. I think it was written so beautifully, and who am I, a college student in Freshman English class, to judge someone of such talent.
This might be my favorite poem of all time. It is just so intense and romantic. It makes you fall in love with someone you don’t even know. I have never been in love and that’s what draws me to this poem. It is that yearning, that feeling of needing someone. Or even the feeling of caring for someone so much that you’re lost without him or her. The fact that another human being can manipulate you, open and close you, make you laugh and cry, is fascinating. As fast as you open up to that one person, is as fast as you can build up wall, throw up your guards, and pull yourself away from their
