Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart,
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
--- e e Cummings
I just like those lines...actually, i like the way they're written, or the way they sound when they're spoken. Very different. Unique maybe. But very simple, and very understandable unlike many other pieces...I First heard them in the movie "In her shoes".... Its actually a poem... and what you just read above is not the whole poem... its just the part i like :D Well... i guess i just wanted to put it up... loved esp the line that says - " which grows higher than the soul can hope, or the mind can hide"... Nice comparisons. The mind is like this bottomless pit where you can hide anything and everything...even if one knows where to look for something, they wont find it there, till the holder of the key opens it for them...and reveals... And the soul hopes as much as it can...hopes for hope. Hopes even when there's no hope. Hopes against hope.
Well... i guess you just get philosophical me on this post :D Kind of a contrast from my crazy jack sparrow post... yikes, CAPTAIN jack sparrow i mean!
Yours "philo div can be boring, but its just a part of her"ly

Nice poem. Since we're on the topic of poems, here's something i read recently.
Caliban at Sunset
I stood with a man
Watching the sun go down.
The air was full of murmurous summer scents
And a brave breeze sang like a bugle
From a sky that smouldered in the west,
A sky of crimson, amethyst, gold and sepia
And blue as blue were the eyes of Helen
When she sat
Gazing from some high tower in Ilium
Upon the Grecian tents darkling below.
And he,
This man who stood beside me,
Gaped like some dull, half-witted animal
And said,
"I say,
Doesn't that sunset remind you
Of a slice
Of underdone roast beef?"
My kinda poem!! Guess who wrote it?
i need tissues! {not sarcastic}
yep...those few lines were really good...tara ma'am read out a few lines of a poem in the class...one of those few lines were..
it is us fools who write poems..but nature who actually creates the real them..
actually found them really nice!

Nil - U expect me to believe that wasn sarcastic? ;-)
Suk - Nice one man...I think nature creates them for us to write abt them! Imagine if no one ever wrote poems... there'd be no use of nature creating such fine things! :D
