VY OF turning from the tremendous lie of sleep | watch the roses of the day grow deep. . —etale < by Edward Estlin (E £) Cummings: ‘The author is talking about how he has dreamed of someone, and became a fool because of it. The person's ‘mouth made the author grow wiser. During the moments of glassy darkness where the person smiled, through tears, there was a strange silence. The author's arms used to be respected by this person, and he would be fascinated, He would also wear the person's charms on his breast. However, he remembers a moment that stands out from the others: when he coulda' sleep, so he watched the roses of the day grow deep. Te author appears to regret his dreams of the other person. He considers himself a "fool to fancy", someone who is oblivious and doesn't realize what love ean do to them. He also speaks of this other person having. a "genuine apparition” of their smile. This could mean that the other person's smile is ghostly or not real. The i author recalls how his "arms" used to be respected by this other person, and how he used to be fascinated by this person. However, the author remembers, better than anything else, how he lost sleep thinking ofthe “roses of the day” In this poem, arose could be the highlight ofthe day, or the emotions of love from the day. The roses could "grow deep" by getting bigger, or more problematic. But arose also has thorns, which is why the author might have lost sleep over them, After reading this poem, I think thatthe author is regretful and sad. He regrets being made a fool, and losing sleep over the "roses ofthe day”. I think that the author accurately portrayed an unhealthy relationship, where one partner has a ghostly smile, when the time spent together is dark, and where everything is silent and. strange. I particularly enjoyed how the author enhanced the sadness ofthe relationship by including the phrase, “it was through tears always". However, I didnt enjoy the last line, "i watch the roses of the day grow deep", because the author doesn't include any explantation about the roses or how they grow deep.iPad = 9:59PM rex <6 E TY Seto 0 +280 aman who. had fallen among thieves UleSiae Person wnvonecing mk smiling ‘a: man who had fallen rong Samwe Fimina lay by the roadside on his back dressed in fifteenthrate ideas ‘wearing a round jeer for a hat fate per a somewhat more than less ‘emancipated evening» 0% had in return for consciousness) ‘endowed him with a changeless grin hereon a dozen staunch and Meal citizens did graze at pause then fired by hypercivic zeal at cme ‘swaddled with affrozen brook 66) >) of pinkest vomit out of eyes Cor S which noticed nobody he looked aa 1\ asifhe did not care torise be (¢ che tinned tothing 09 theta ‘te wideling frend clenched weakly dit r while the mute trouser confessed button solemnly inert.

Love is always going to win; its alive; smaller than some; and is a smaller litter than forgiveness. It can also be Sane and bright, but most importantly, can be higher than the sky. E, E, Cummings appreciates the magnificence of love. He recognizes how love can be a confusing and ‘mysterious thing, and when i's over, it can be bard to forget, but also hard to remember the specific details. ‘Some love seems insane, but itis stil real and deep. Other love seems perfectly normal, but it might be a stronger love than ever before. ‘This poem tries to explain the significance of love, and how all love is real. I like how E. E. Cummings recognizes that even if a relationship seems crazy, itis still meaningful and powerful, However, some of EE, ‘Cummings’ lines are very confusing and hard to interpret, such as the last two lines of the poem.
