"I carry your heart with me" - E.E. Cummings

I carry your heart with me (i carry it in

my heart) I am never without it (anywhere

I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear

no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want

no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

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 the 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)

 

by E.E. Cummings

De um filme que vi esta semana num canal qulaquer por cabo (AXN black ou Sony não lembro qual) In Her Shoes (Na Sua Pele). Apanhei-o a meio, mas no fim a personagem interpretada pela Cameron Dias (não acho piadinha nenhuma a esta atriz, sinceramente) lê este poema de Cummings para a sua irmã. Fiquei curiosa para ver do início, gostei bastante da parte que vi.
