Editorial Term 3, 2009
Hey everybody!
I’m not going to recount some story of what I did on the weekend, or what I saw whilst sitting on the school bus; you’re very lucky, for it almost came to that! However, I’ve decided to share something else in my editorial - not some banal tale, but instead, something that’s caught my attention ...
Recently, I’ve become more and more avid in my interest in poetry. So I thought I’d simply show you a poem, by one of my favourite poets of all time, E. E Cummings (or as he would have it spelt, ee cummings - his use of conventional grammar is less than conservative, as you will see).
It may not always be so; and i say
it may not always be so; and i say
that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch
another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another's face your sweet hair lay
in such silence as i know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be, i say if this should be--
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that i may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall i turn my face and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands
Bon voyage! I hope you all love the latest issue!
The Editor-in-Chief,
Lily E.
