"i carry your heart" by e. e. cummings

[valancy-s.livejournal.com]

Just a tiny set of icons I was working on some time ago, different images with the same line from possibly the most romantic poem of all time. I've been meaning to do more, but it's V-Day, so if anyone wants these you're welcome. Comments = valentines :)

Sample: 01 02

03 04 05

If you'd like to see any other famous couples, I'd be happy to provide (to the best of my ability). Enjoy!

I've never heard of that poem before. It's lovely. Thank you! And thanks for the icons, too - I snatched the first one.

Always happy to spread the e e cummings love! Glad you enjoyed.

Hee! Two great tastes that taste great together, eh? :)

I'd vote "somewhere i have never travelled (http://www.poemhunter.com/p/m/poem.asp?poet=6588&poem=30501)" as the most romantic ever, but I love the selection (and sentiment)!

Although, for unrequited love, it's all about Maggie Atwood (http://www.poemhunter.com/p/m/poem.asp?poem=56306):

I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.

That's exquisite! Why have I never read Margaret Atwood's poetry? There's a mistake that will soon be rectified. Thanks for the tip-off.

Oh, that's lovely!

you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

So gorgeous. I can't believe I'd never read that one! Thanks so much for sharing :) And I love your classic couples icon!

Wow, I thought I knew almost all of e.e. cummings' poetry -- I've never heard of this one. It's lovely! Thank you for that, and for the icon -- I took Beauty and Beast.

And that Margaret Atwood poem is breathtaking too.
