Day 851: A Clown in Winter

 

There are lots of things I love about this EE poem. The enchantment it begins with: 'at the magical hour when is becomes if' - isn't that just - well, magical? The grouping of the phrase 'most people' into one word 'mostpeople', effectively lumping them together literally. The clown as representative to the poet as someone truly 'alive': 'completely alert and miraculously whole; with not merely a mind and a heart but unquestionably a soul' and as such, what 'mostpeople fear most'. So many of Cummings' poems explore this conflict between really being alive and just existing, the majority mundane-obeying 'mostpeople' and then the some vibrant characters that people his poems, (his own personality a lot of the time and his aspiring towards this) who live simply and spectacularly as a gift. 

And don't you just love that line about the clown not saying a word - but 'the silence of him self sang like a bird'? And look how the word 'self' is on a separate line, highlighting the clown's sense of separate self, his being, his independent existence on a different space. I just love the very last line, the 'crazy' offering of a daisy and everything it means and find myself in total agreement with him. How about you?


one winter afternoon - ee cummings

one winter afternoon

(at the magical hour
when is becomes if)

a bespangled clown
standing on eighth street
handed me a flower.


Nobody, it’s safe
to say, observed him but

myself;and why? because

without any doubt he was
whatever(first and last)

mostpeople fear most:
a mystery for which i’ve
no word except alive


–that is,completely alert
and miraculously whole;

with not merely a mind and a heart

but unquestionably a soul–
by no means funereally hilarious


(or otherwise democratic)
but essentially poetic
or ethereally serious:

a fine not a coarse clown
(no mob, but a person)


and while never saying a word

who was anything but dumb;
since the silence of him

self sang like a bird.

Mostpeople have been heard
screaming for international

measures that render hell rational
– i thank heaven somebody’s crazy

enough to give me a daisy

  2. Hi,
    Previously I’ve been trying to improve my credit score to qualify for an FHA mortgage. I was trying to make this happen, I’m on a month to month lease so it wouldn’t require a last minute hassle to move. Plus, my apartment was moldy and flooded. I’ve been working with a lender agent who has done a soft pull to look at my credit and suggested I contact PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST because my credit score was low. I was at TransUnion 520, Equifax 532 and Experian 560. He said I need to be at least 700 to qualify. I don’t often write reviews but PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST blew my mind after so many credit firms toyed with me and screwed me up. He finally got my credit fixed. He increased my credit score to TransUnion 806, Equifax 802 and Experian 811. He also played off the 2 Midland collections on my credit report. I’m now qualified for an FHA mortgage; I’m so excited all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. You can do yours. Quickly contact him by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM
