The Hidden Power of Their Intense Fragility

Al around every hu populace being born on our planet was given a gift of romantic love at least once in a lifetime. Being in love is the condition when sluice the most hardened pragmatics feel themselves capable of temerarious deeds in order to impress their beloved, to make him or her smile. And during this terminus, most of us, people dream close to writing a poetry in honor to of the object of passion. Many of us even write the products of this inspiration down, still after reading them, we commiserate its no more than a bunch of words linked by that little understanding of rhyme most of us possess.Fortunately, Edward Estlin Cummings didnt belong to that talentless majority. His poems dedicated to the beloved women brought joy and pleasure not only to their hearts and minds, but also to the souls of thousands of the worshippers of poetry. Quite a bunch of love poems went break from under his formidable pen, but the one, c all(prenominal)ed Somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond is one of the most well- copen ones.Scientists argue for whether his once wife was the inspiration for this work of art, or it was some other women, but still this piece of poetry expresses the things most of the man would like to say to their beloved woman, but couldnt find the words to do it. Some men are afraid to fall in love with a woman, as they feel as the object of their feelings will be able to take control of their life. They are afraid of that forcefulness of intense fragility that every woman possesses over the man who loves her.Edward Estlin Cummings wasnt scared to be possessed by those hands, which are smaller than the rains, its rather that he gave himself into the hands of his bellowed woman, getting all the possible positive experience from this condition. When I first read this poem a word for the woman, described in the poem came to my mind, which was mistress, a woman, whose power is in her fragility. This poem is written by a first person narr ator, the author describes his own feelings towards the object of his passion. The author of the poem is marveled by the impact that woman makes on him.Thus, the tone of the poem is admiring and even a little worshipping. The person who decides to get acquainted with the Cummingss poems should remember that this writer uses an extremely generous visitry system in his verses. Some of the researchers even claim that the love poetry of E. E. Cummings is well known for specifically using flowers to describe a womans sexuality or the innermost self. (Everything2 Website). And its true, that in the Somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond he uses two main image systems which are human anatomy and genius. He compares his woman with flowers in order to emphasize her tenderness and beauty.One more characteristic feature of Cummingss poetry whichs clearly expressed in the Somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond is paraphrasing. The writer sometimes ignores the rules of the Eng lish talking to in order to express his feelings, to make the reader understand better the feelings and emotions that overfill him. The unconventional sound of his phrases make the reader return to them once more and again in order to understand why the author had organized his writings in such a way, which gives the reader better chance to understand the means expressed by the author.As this poem is a lyric, and its written in an open form, some critiques say it is of no great value, but most poetry lovers value the artistic and imagery filling of the poem much higher than its conformity to the common poetry standards. In the first four lines of the poem the author explains he feels that the object of his feelings possesses the knowledge of something the writer never had any idea of, something really simple, but impossible to understand for him, which (he) cannot touch because they are likewise near.The next quatrain tells us this woman is capable of revealing the deepest feelin gs and thoughts the author has just by being near him. In the next eight lines the poet explains the nature of her power, whichs her intense fragility. In the closing quatrain Cummings tells that her beauty is one more source of her power. your slightest look will easily unclose me though i have closed myself as fingers the poet writes. In this lines the concept is expressed that has been proved by the experience of centuries.Through all the history of the humankind, which was created, as its officially thought by man, women had influenced all that crucial decisions that changed the lives of millions of people on the Earth. It often happened that the mistresses, wives or sultanas were those, who actually ruled the states because of the tremendous influence they had on their man. The older I become, the more I understand intimately the womans influence on their husbands, sons and brothers. My mother has never openly opposed any of my decisions, even if they were disparage and har mful in her opinion.She always agreed with my claims at first, but than, gradually, she made me think about the reasons why I wanted to do this or that thing, and about the consequences of my actions. Her intense fragility was the way she used to make the man in her family act sensible and rightful. The men have always been the thrillseekers. The nature of this longing is present explained by the biologists and genetics, but women knew that for thousands of years, maybe even on some subconscious level.For the man to be interested with the woman her eyes should have their silence somewhere (he) have never traveled, gladly beyond any experience. And its quite understandable for me, as in my opinion the communication amongst the partners should enrich both of them, and its impossible when they knew each other thoroughly. It is said that all of those, who are deeply in love, are like the blind, they are uneasy with their happiness. The man, who loves is ready to get the star from the night sky for his darling, or to dedicate her wonderful poem.Those, who are really in love, are really happy, as they know for sure theyll be together forever. Edward Estlin Cummings and his wife Anne Barton got divorced in a year after this poem was written. Their relationship didnt survive the period needed for the ink this poem was first written with to fade. Still, today, dozens of years after the death of the poet, his wife and their relationship we open the book to read the utterance of your eyes is deeper than all roses nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
