E.E. Cummings' "I Carry Your Heart With Me" Collage
I Carry Your Heart With Me.
by E.E. Cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I like the way this collage
I like the way this collage works with a sense of flow--the movement from the clouds to the tree shape works well. Also nice use of color. You might think about the placement of much of the interest in the center of the image. I can almost imagine the slash of blue expanded and extended to create a division in the image and then just more experimentation with placement and emphasis. This has a nice tone.
