Looked up the whole thing

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any -- lifted from the no
of all nothing -- human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened.)

People are 'artsy" in various ways, some are writers, some are painters, some are designers..., hers is culinery.

At the time I was forced to read things like this in high school english classes, I thought that e.e. cummings was full of himself.

But if it resonates with me fifteen years later, it must have been a success with me!
