poetry of e.e. cummings

"Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. . . the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself. To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." (e.e. cummings)
