e.e. cummings - anyone lived in a pretty how town

anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did

Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone's any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain

Summary
The poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town,” by e.e. cummings, is about a man named anyone who lives his life unloved and ignored by most of the people in society. The only person who cares about anyone is a woman called no-one. The poem talks about how most people just kept on living their life, but sleeping “their dreams.” Eventually, anyone dies and no-one is heart broken. However, society just keeps going. When no-one dies, the townspeople bury them “side-by-side.” Life goes on.

Metaphorical Meaning
The metaphorical meaning of e.e. cummings’s work, “anyone lived in a pretty how town,” is symbolic of everyday life. Anyone, really could be anyone. The character is full of life, “he sang his didn’t he danced his did” (4). However, society doesn’t appreciate anyone (both the character and any one person). This is shown by the line, “they cared for anyone not at all”(6). Since the society cares about nobody but himself or herself, they don’t live fulfilled lives; “[society] said their nevers they slept their dreams”(20). Meanwhile, anyone and no-one care about each other “no-one loved him more by more”(13). This can be taken in a variety of ways: ether no-one is nonexistent or no-one is really just like anyone. There is also another couple in the poem- someone's and everyone's. They serve as exact opposites of anyone and no-one. Those characters lived unfulfilled lives. They just pretend, “[they] laughed their cryings and did their dance”(18). They are also hopeless; “They said their nevers and slept their dreams”(20). When no-one and anyone die, life goes on as usual; “busy folk buried them side by side”(27). No one cared, so life went on. Yet, even in death no-one and anyone were better off in death because they weren’t as self-centered, “and more by more they dream their sleep/no-one and anyone earth by April/wish by spirit and if by yes” (30/32).

Style
In e.e. cummings’s, “anyone lived in a pretty how town,” the author used repetition to show the effects of time. In the poem e.e. cummings states the lines, “spring summer autumn winter,”(3) and “sun moon stars rain,”(8) repeatedly. cummings did this to show the passage of time. In repeating these lines he changes the order of the seasons or celestial images, “autumn winter spring summer,”(11) and “stars rain sun moon,”(21). This shows that the times are changing but so are the people.

Я копался в старых журналах и случайно наткнулся на статью

'he danced his did': an analysis

перепишу первый абзац:

In the last twenty years, Cumming's line 'he danced his did' has been in the centre of almost every major discussion of the deviant language of literature. In the last two decades, hundreds of pages and scores of articles have been written which have attempted to assess and motivate its linguistic status and aesthetic sucess. Without question, 'he danced his did' has been more closely scrutinized and extensively analysed than any other single phrase in English literature.

Ну и ну...
