About E. E. Cummings

Edward Estlin Cummings (October 14 1894 – September 3 1962) was an American poet. Because of the typography used in many of his works it has become a widespread tradition for his name to be presented in lower case as e. e. cummings, though he himself continued to use uppercase letters in signing his own name.

Additional quotes by E. E. Cummings

And what does a housepainter represent? Ten dollars an hour. In other words, you don't want to be serious— It takes two to be serious.
