it may not always be so... (XI) Analysis

Author: poem of e.e. cummings Type: poem Views: 25

it may not always be so;and i say

that if your lips,which i have loved,should touch

another's,and your dear strong fingers clutch

his heart,as mine in time not far away;

if on another's face your sweet hair lay

in such a silence as i know,or such

great writhing words as,uttering overmuch,

stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;

if this should be,i say if this should be-

you of my heart,send me a little word;

that i may go unto him,and take his hands,

saying,Accept all happiness from me.

Then shall i turn my face,and hear one bird

sing terribly afar in the lost lands.

.: :.

This poem is also from TULIPS AND CHIMNEYS (1923). It speaks of something we have or will always deal with during young age. Cummings speeks of betrayal, though instead of the anger one would expect, Cummings feels a sertain connection with his rival. "that i may go unto him, and take his hands, / saying, Accept all happiness from me." It is as though Cummings was proud to share his love of someone with another. "Then shall i turn my face,and hear one bird / sing terribly afar in the lost lands." For Cummings, however, these feelings come not without sorrow and lonelieness that we've all known.
