E.E. Cummings, poem, anyone lived in a pretty how town

A detailed Summary of E.E. Cummings, poem, anyone lived in a pretty how town

I first read this poem and I thought of love, two people in love. Anyone and noone are in love and that is what matters to them, to be in love with each other and with life. It involves the day, the night, and how the weather changes. The seasons revolve and the children grow up to become adults. As I read the poem I realized there were three sections to it. Which consist of anyone and noone, "women and men" in line four, and the children. The first stanza is strange the first time you read it. You do not understand "anyone" is a person and not just anyone. I believe that line six is referring to all of the adults in the town, Cummings does not want us to think of the town people as separate people but as a whole group undistinguishable from on another. This is told in line five where it states "little and small", he is grouping them in very close together. The children are separated into there own group. As they grow through the seasons in lines nine, ten, and eleven, they pass on into adulthood. They in essence no longer exist in the poem. The bells ringing might have something to do with them becoming adults, since I do not see them relating to any other parts of the poem

E.E. Cummings is wonderful poet, whose work I regret, have not read more of. I feel as though he has good ideas and values from only reading a select few of his poems. I get a sense that he has had lots of things happen to him that he shows very well in his poems so that others can learn from him. I especially liked because of the complicated yet simple style in which he writes it. The first time I read it through it seemed to be simple and I would have a hard time analyzing it, but as I "ate" it, it became clear that there was more there that I was seeing. After reading the poem many time to myself and out loud I started to understand the underlying theme of the poem. Which I believe to be growing up, living, dyeing, and the immense importance of love in a person's life.

. The bells seem to be an important part of the town since they are mentioned in the second line of the poem and those exact lines are repeated in line twenty-four, sixth stanza of the poem. The bells are related to the children and their death, because they only ring when the children are mentioned. The portion of line two which states "many bells down", is possibly referring to the death of the children and somewhat the death of anyone and noone. The reference to death in lines twenty-nine and thirty by stating "deep by deep" and "more by more they dream their sleep" shows how they surcome to death. In line thirt
