    'maggy and milly and molly and may' maggy and milly and molly and may went down to the beach(to play one day) and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were; and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone. For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) its always ourselves we find in the sea E. E. Cummings

    From the page: "as small as a world and as large as alone. " I get why some people might find this overrated, since this style is bit like in children's books, but that's what is awesome about it! sometimes simplicity can be a great thing, and "childish" songs may be deeper than ones that try too hard to be dark.

    I think people read way too much into this poem. So overrated... I mean honestly, it makes too much sense to be abstract, yet it's so simple and stupid. Reminds me of 5-year-olds' poetry and shows like Jackass.

    "... as large as alone" is my favorite line. That is so true!

    From the page: "as small as a world and as large as alone." I find that incredibly beautiful for some reason.
