“I Carry Your Heart with Me”- E.E. Cummings “I Carry Your Heart with Me” has a deep meaning that can be interpreted differently by each individual. I believe the broad meaning is meant to interpret the connection that you can have with someone, that our souls connect to kindled spirits, and to those that we love. The first portion of the poem, “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 believe that this means when we connect with someone on a deep level, whether it be a friend, partner, spouse, family member, or multiple people, that we can be connected for life and they are with us no matter where we are. …show more content…

We find ourselves feel the same way, interpreting situations the same way, we think of each other at the same moments, and so on. This poem is exactly what my sister is to me. She is a part of me, and we are truly connected.

Others may not agree with my argument, that we are all able to connect with others so deeply, but I interpret this poem, that it is meant to show what deep connection that some may experience with others. Perhaps, individuals can go through out life never having such a connection with another. I hope that most are able to find someone that they love, and cherish. There is nothing better in this world then to have someone that you can always rely on to be there no matter the circumstances. The second paragraph, “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”. I truly believe that in life and after life that our loved ones stay connected with us. I interpret the second paragraph, as E.E Cummings saying that we can in fact become one another worlds. Our souls can connect, and we can truly live our lives for each other. It is describing a beautiful

    The poem explains her hardships. Reading poetry is different from reading prose because you really have to dig deeper and study harder. A poem is not always straight forward like many other writings. You have to use context clues and understand imagery, tone, and sense. Summarizing a poem becomes difficult if you do not re-read several times. I learned that figurative language and lifestyle really tells a great story. Language especially helps you understand what is going on between the lines. Overall, family is always there at the end of the day. Sometimes situations get tough, but there is always a light at the end of the

    This line was very unexpected and this line makes the poem what it is. The poem transition from a love poem to a darker more painful story. The tone of the poem also shifts to a more eerie tone. Another thing about the third stanza is that at this moment in the poem, I can connect the poem to the Greek mythological story of Persephone and Hades. The allusion sets up the rest of the poem and gives the poem a lot more meaning.

  • Compare And Contrast Anyone Lived In A Pretty How Town

    1124 Words  | 3 Pages

    E. Cummings creates a critical and intolerant tone. He uses his work to criticize “most people” and how they blindly follow others. Cummings intolerance arises from others critical opinion of not normal people, whom the townspeople of the writing do not acknowledge. The uniqueness of both the main characters in the writing and Cummings is shown by the distinctiveness, inconsistency, and incorrectness of the writing. This tone directly relates to the theme and how anyone and noone are compassionate, caring people who actually recognize the value of life ,but are surrounded by townspeople who just stumble through life without a care or emotion. Cummings uses the seasons, bells, his unique composition and the repetition of “Women and men” and “anyone” to create and emphasize the unfortunate cycle of life. The use of the seasons in lines three,eleven, and thirty-four emphasise the passing of time and the unchanging ways of the townspeople. “Women and men”, in lines five and thirty-three,are used to remind us of Cummings definition of “most people” and how people tend to blend in and follow. The bells in lines two and twenty-four are used to indicate a change in the character 's, the first bell is before love and the second bell is rang before death.These significant life transitions show how love and death are final. life The character “anyone” introduces a person, unlike any others in the town, between him and his

  • Themes Of Isolation In Grass By Carl Sandburg

    Loss and isolation are easy, yet difficult to write about. They are easy because every human being can empathize with loneliness. If someone denies this, they are lying because loneliness is a common feeling, anyone can relate. It’s hard because we don’t discuss loneliness or loss publicly very often, and when we do, we forget about it quickly. These poems contrast each other by speaking of the different types of loneliness and isolation, distinguishing between the ones of loss, and isolation in a positive perspective.

  • It Might Have Been Otherwise: Analysis Of "Otherwise" by Jane Kenyon

    ...is poem has a greater meaning to me since I had a personal connection. Someone close to me was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, and it affected me incredibly. The fact that someone I cared about could just die unexpectedly seems so surreal. Before, I did not even acknowledge the fact that anything could happen at any time in life; I took everything for granted, never savoring the simple pleasures in life that came so easily. After that incident, I started realizing that one day, I could be diagnosed with cancer. One day, I will not be able to wake up. Anything could happen on that one day, and it will happen. But for now, I have decided to be happy with what I have, to be glad to have some sense of normalcy in my life. It may not seem like enough to most people, but it is to me.

Other than a very relatable imagery in the poem, it is also about love, which is almost always captivating to read about. While I read this poem I felt as though a man is not sure if he is ready to love, but he is being told that if not yet in love then he is wasting his time. The poem makes it feel like there is never a wrong time to begin love, and that it is all up to the

  • Within A Dream By Edgar Allan Poe Analysis

    Throughout the poem there is only one narrator, a man or woman. The narrator is of high importance to the one being spoken too, so possibly a girlfriend or boyfriend. This narrator alludes to the idea that dreams and reality can be one in the same. The narrator says, “You are not wrong, who deem/That my days have been a dream;” (Line 4-5). The narrator explains that the moments spent with her have felt almost, if not, a perfect dream. The narrator also says, in the closing lines of the first stanza, “All that we see or seem/Is but a dream within a dream.” (Line 10-11). The narrator concludes like dreams, reality is not controlled; reality is what you make it, or what you see. Moreover, in the second stanza the narrator

  • E.E. Cumming's Poem I Carry your Heart with Me

    1233 Words  | 3 Pages

    E.E Cummings’ poem “ i carry your heart with me(i carry it in)” show’s exactly what people truly feel, it’s as if he yanked someones feelings straight from their heart and put them on paper. This poem is the best explanation of true love, that there is. He says, that this woman is his love, he will love her forever, and no matter how far she may be from him, she will still be in his heart. Nothing could ever make his feelings for her fade away. When someone really truly loves someone, nothing could make them stop loving that person. They will always have a special place in each others hearts. Cummings starts out saying in the first stanza that she is in his heart, then in the second stanza it grows into her being his world, nothing means more to him. Now, in the third stanza he tells her that she is his biggest secret, a mystery to everyone else. Lastly, the most meaningful part of the poem, in my opinion is the last stanza, where he simply states. “I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)”(line 14). It seems so simple, but after going deep in explanation about his love, that small statement has a much bigger meaning than it did in the first stanza. In this beautiful poem, "i carry your heart with me(i carry it in", E.E Cummings shows how permanent his undying love is for this woman, and how no one and nothing in the world will ever mean more to him, He uses themes of love, and possibly longing for this woman in this poem, to possibly teach the reader how to love, or to stay loyal no matter how tough of a fight that may be.
