e. e. cummings Quotes About Cities
-
Who knows if the moon's / a balloon, coming out of a keen city / in the sky - filled with pretty people?

I was too tired to think. I merely felt the town as a unique unreality. What was it? I knew -- the moon's picture of a town. These streets with their houses did not exist, they were but a ludicrous projection of the moon's sumptuous personality. This was a city of Pretend, created by the hypnotism of moonnight. -- Yet when I examined the moon she too seemed but a painting of a moon and the sky in which she lived a fragile echo of color. If I blew hard the whole shy mechanism would collapse gently with a neat soundless crash. I must not, or lose all.

who knows if the moon's a balloon,coming out of a keen city in the sky--filled with pretty people?
