"Liliy has a rose": poema de e.e.Cummings (1894 - 1962), um dos meus poetas de sempre, descoberto nos tempos da Faculdade. Nascido em Cambridge, sempre foi encorajado a desenvolver as suas potencialidades criativas, chegando a uma poesia límpida, belíssima, inspiradora.

lily has a rose
(i have none)
"don't cry dear violet
you may take mine"

"o how how how
could i ever wear it now
when the boy who gave it to
you is the tallest of the boys"

"he'll give me another
if i let him kiss me twice
but my lover has a brother
who is good and kind to all"

"o no no no
let the roses come and go
for kindness and goodness do
not make a fellow tall"

lily has a rose
no rose i've
and losing's less than winning(but
love is more than love)
