E. E. Cummings

No final do Verão, quando a TV Cabo ofereceu os canais Lusomundo durante um mês, "papei" uns filmezecos, entre eles In Her Shoes, avec Cameron Diaz e Toni Collette, e Candy com Heath Ledger e Abby Cornish. Em comum tinham a referência e leitura do poema I Carry Your Heart With Me de E. E. Cummings. Sendo Candy um título australiano e Collette da mesma nacionalidade (é a sua personagem, Rose, que o lê), deduzo que o autor desta delícia também o seja:

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (any where 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 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)
