My blog name is "Wearing Sunlight." It's part of a quote from one of my favorite e.e.cummings poems, "unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home."
unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home
of knowledgeable shadows (quick to seize each other
which all soulless wraiths proclaim
substance; all heartless spectres, happiness)
lovers alone wear sunlight. The whole truth
not hid by matter; not by mind revealed
(more than all dying life, all living death)
and never which has been or will be told
sings only - and all lovers are the song
Here(only here) is freedom always here
no then of winter equals now of spring;
but april's day transcends november's year
(eternity being so sans until
twice I have lived forever in a smile)
I love this poem because of its depth and passion of feeling - I love the thought of "lovers alone wear sunlight - all lovers are the song." Over anything else, I am wife to my amazing husband. This has been our year to "wear sunlight," and I know our love is going to keep singing us through whatever happens in the years to come. e.e. cummings, for me, captures all the complexities and delights of love - he knows that without love, we are no more than those "soulless wraiths," wandering the earth in search of ourselves. My name on here represents the love I have in my life and the hope I have for our future.
