Oh e. e. cummings, how we love you! So simple and yet so profound: to get a tryst boiled down to so few words. But it is a lot like that, isn't it?

Oh my gosh! What an accurate portrayal of the female reasoning. No wonder she is one of my favorite poets...
on Sonnet: What Lips My Lips Have Kissed by Edna St. Vincent Millay, on April 15, 2008
This is a personal favorite of mine. I quote it so often it borders on obsession. But it rings so true to my life, all except for the part where boys turn to her at midnight with a cry. I have had no boys turn to me at midnight. But the point rings true: memories are beautiful, but they can also be haunting. Loneliness is painful.
