e. e. cummings paints pictures of ugliness so tender and beautiful they'll make you cry, so pure and noble that your heart will beat, so childlike you'll laugh.
I'm still thinking about the line, "the wonderful chocolate carpet of his skin."
Who says stuff like that?
This book is challengingly poetic, has very little plot, and is sometimes hard to follow – but at its core it is an honest, conscious look at what it's like to be a lantern in the darkness.
