    Dear all,
    A little help please. I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of a poem by cummings. I was wondering if anyone here could remember it for me. It is about the dissection of poetry and he relates it back to life, through such phrases (paraphrase since I can't remember exactly) as "a full-stop is love" and a comma something else... I realise this is incredibly vague. Can anyone help me out?
    Best,
    Winston.

    Have to say I'm a big fan of Cummings but that didn't immediately ring any bells. I've had a quick peruse of a collection of his work and nothing really fits the bill, though there are many poems on the theme of love....

    If you have time, there are quite a few of Cummings' poems here and you may spot it. The page uses the word "all", though I suspect it's just all that they have.
