Dear‚ E.E. Cummings‚ I have unraveled your poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town”. I really enjoyed the uniqueness of the puzzle you created. The narrator of the story tells the narrative as if they don’t care‚ moreover‚ the story itself is about a lot of people not caring. The only people who act out are Anymore and Noone‚ they fall in love and worry about no one but themselves‚ as the disregardful outside world continues to repeat the cycle of life and death by no means. Mr. Cummings‚ I appreciate

Winterson too describes Eliot as a man with sensitive soul‚ one whom is easily overwhelmed whom continually suffered. This closely relates to the understanding that

The Poetic Style of e.e. Cummings “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are‚” no one could say it better than Edward Estin Cummings‚ aka e.e. Cummings.
