"Humanity i love you" by E.E. Cummings: A Source of Confliction
Summary: A complete guide to the E.E. Cummings poem commonly known as "Humanity i love you," in which Cummings illustrated the faults of humanity through a combination of structural changes, figurative language, and ironic visual imagery. It begins with the actual text of the poem; proceeds to a critical biography of Cummings, which examines the influences in his life that would have led him to write such a poem; and then ends with a criticism/explication of the poem itself.
Humanity i'm Conflicted
by Colin Swanson
Untitled
E.E. Cummings
- Humanity i love you
- because you would rather black the boots of
- success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
- watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both
- parties and because you
- unflinchingly applaud all
- songs containing the words country home and
- mother when sung at the old howard
- Humanity i love you because
- when you're hard up you pawn your
- intelligence to buy a drink and when
- you're flush pride keeps
- you from the pawn shop and
- because you are continually committing
- nuisances but more
- especially in your own house
- Humanity i love you because you
- are perpetually putting the secret of
- life in your pants and forgetting
- it's there and sitting down
- on it
- and because you are
- forever making poems in the lap
- of death Humanity
- i hate you
