Edward Estlin "E. E." Cummings (1894 – 1962), an American writer and painter, was one of the most important American poets of the 20th century. Cummings wrote sonnets and traditional poems but is regarded for experimental, free-form use of language.

"to stand(alone)in some
autumnal afternoon:
breathing a fatal stillness;while
enormous this how
patient creature(who's
never by never robbed of
day)puts always on by always
dream,is to
taste
not(beyond
death and
life)imaginable mysteries"
