e.e. awesome

Not to get all bohemian with a couple of poetry postings in the same week, but I recently tracked down the e.e. cummings poem that Cameron Diaz reads (paraphrases?) in honor of her sister's wedding in the film In Her Shoes. It was really the only part of the movie I liked. Ain't it beautiful?

"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)"
