·e. e.cummings·
Love is more thicker than forget
More thinner than recall
More seldom than a wave is wet
More frequent than to fail
It is most mad and moonly
And less it shall unbe
Than all the sea which only
Is deeper than the sea
Love is less always than to win
Less never than aIive
Less bigger than the least begin
Less littler than forgive
It is most sane and sunly
And more it cannot die
Than all the sky which only
Is higher than the sky
e. e.卡明斯
愛情比忘卻厚
比回憶薄
比潮濕的波浪少
比失敗多
它最癡癲最瘋狂
但比起所有
比海洋更深的海洋
它更為長久
愛情總比勝利少見
卻比活著多些
不大于無法開始
不小于諒解
它最明朗最清晰
而比起所有
比天空更高的天空
它更為不朽
