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)
anyone lived in a pretty how town
by E. E. Cummings
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
if you like my poems let them
by E. E. Cummings
if you like my poems let them
walk in the evening,a little behind you
then people will say
"Along this road i saw a princess pass
on her way to meet her lover(it was
toward nightfall)with tall and ignorant servants."

Edward Estlin Cummings or better known as E.E Cummings style of poetry is very meaningful because he expresses his emotions and feelings into his poetry. I carry your heart with me is an exquisite piece of poetry. This poem describes him carrying a person in his heart and her heart in his.
Anyone lived in a pretty how town is about people not loving him anymore and how men and women are both little and small. If you like my poems let them is about people seeing a princess meeting her lover along a road she had with her tall and ignorant servants

E.E Cummings is an extraordinary poet. His works of art are magnificent, and everyday people can relate to them. The first poem that was read was called “I carry your heart with me.” In this poem he talks about carrying someone’s heart, and how it’s always with him. This is a love poem, at least I believe it is. Some people can interpret things differently. It sounds as if he is in love with someone, and he is trying to express his feelings in words. Sometimes that is hard to do, but he does a very nice job. He also talks about wanting nothing but her, and how she is his world. That’s extremely sweet. The next poem that we read that was written by E.E Cummings is called “Anyone Lived In A Pretty How Town” this poem was a little hard to understand. But, it talks about how people will live their lives; they love, they dream, they die. And he talks about the seasons that have passed such as Winter, Summer, Fall, and Spring. And the last poem we read was called “If You Like My Poems Let Them” this was a message from E.E Cummings I think to his readers. I think he likes to write poems about love and people finding love. He is a very inspirational writer. I enjoy his poems very much, they are my favorite.
These three poems by EE Cummings, to me, all have a positive message. In “I carry your heart with me,” he describes how he carries this someone’s heart. I think that his inspirations and inner feelings are love for a certain someone, especially with lines such as, “you are whatever a moon has always meant.”
In, “Anyone lived in a pretty how town” I particularly like EE Cummings’ use of phrasing in some lines. For example, “he sang his didn't he danced his did.” This line, with no punctuation in between ‘didn’t’ and ‘he’, makes the reader pause and reread the line so that they can fully understand the meaning. Things like this make the poem interesting and fun to read.
EE Cummings’ writing style is very unique as shown in these poems. His usage of punctuation and phrasing make his poems different and one of a kind.
E.E Cummings was a very emotional writer. He showed many emotions in his poems, a main one being love. He especially shows love in the poem “ I carry your heart with me”. He shows much emotion and thought in the poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town”.
“I carry your heart with me” shows his love. It shows this when it says “you are my fate” and “beautiful you are my world”. The whole poem expresses this emotion but these statements stand out. “Anyone lived in a pretty how town” shows the author’s thoughts on people. He notices the actions of the people in relation to their environment. Both of these poems probably have real life significance. .
E.E. Cummings was a famous poet from the early 1900's. He is a different breed of a poet, using odd techniques of grammar, and implementing the use of quotation marks very fluently. His poetry is very personal, using words such as, "dear", and "darling". I read his poems as whimsical in a sense, not taking them completely serious, but still digesting some heartfelt emotions. In the first poem, I caught a quick laugh. It was a good poem, but i read it as if it were a bad toby keith song, playing on the country station at One A.M. His poetry is mostly directed towards a single individual, as if he was asking someone on a date. I cold hardly read the second poem. I would recognize one line, and then be completely dumbfounded at what happened in the second. Im not a big fan of E.E. Cummings.

When Cummings first published poems hey appeared in anthology Eight Harvard Poets. I think that he had a harsh life being in war times, in which afterward he had to settle into a life in which he split between to households in Paris and Connecticut. He experimented frequently with punctuation, syntax and spelling, getting rid of traditional techniques and structures to create new, and more.
In ‘I carry your heart with me’ I feel a strong sense of love and betrayal. He writes about carrying someone’s heart with him wherever he goes inside his own heart. From this I see that he has been in love and either done something to make her break up with him or the opposite way. He wants her or him back. From the line ‘I want no word (for beautiful you are my world)’ I understand that he is a very depressed person and would do anything to get his lover back. He sees his someone wherever he goes. He then tells of a secret that nobody knows in order to finally convince his lover that he truly loves him or her. I loved this poem because it was very mysterious in yet I knew exactly what it was talking about.
‘Anyone lived in a pretty how town’ was a very strange poem. In the first stanza E.E. writes of all four seasons and how he sang and danced. Then about no matter what size of both women and men are as I understood it they are same as the sun, moon, stars, and rain. Next about someone marrying another. I think he meant that when they were married they were happy always laughing and cried only tears of joy while dancing. His theme is that women and men are the same in the end, no mater what size, season, or time.
Overall, I like E.E. Cummings writing style. It makes me think and wonder what his authorization means, instead of some poetry that makes me fall asleep and never want to read another by this author. With Cummings I want to read more of his poetry. He interests me and leaves me thinking.
Edward Estlin Cummings or E. E. Cummings has created his own form of emotional poetry, as is shown in his poetry. His poetry is very expressional and this is shown in how he uses words to create his own form of artwork. In the poems that were given he shows many emotions that people have. His poem i carry your heart with me, is an excellent example of how people need someone to love them. He also speaks as though she is his world. This poem is very romantic and shows how much he loves the person he is writing it to.
Edward Estlin Cummings was born on Cambridge, Massachusetts, October 14, 1984. He started writing poems since 1904 and studied Latin and Greek at the Cambridge Latin High School. He went to college at Harvard, and that is wear he got his Bachelors and Masters degree.
The poem “I carry your heart with me” by E.E. Cummings is my type of poem, because I can relate to it. It was about his love for someone, and how they will always be a part of him, no matter what happens. It explains how much they mean to him. I really love reading poems like this, because I am a sad type of person, and Cummings is the type of person that likes to put his attention to love.
Edward Estlin Cummings was born October 14, 1894 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He wrote his poems young even before 1904, he graduated from Harvard and began to write poetry. He experimented with the form of writing along with punctuation, spelling, and syntax, abandoning traditional techniques. During his lifetime he reached honors such as an Academy of American Poets Fellowship, two Guggenheim Fellowships, the Charles Eliot Norton Professorship at Harvard, the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 1958, and a Ford Foundation grant.
The poetry work he did was very different from all the other poets at that time in age. Thats is why he was famous because he made a new english poetry language that people never hear of before. The 1st poem i live ever well to me it seems like he is in love and he tell it the best way he knows how and thats poetry.
E.E. Cummings portrays a very individual and original writing style in his poetry. I can't say that I understand his style, because I do not. But it is very interesting and appreciable.
In the poem, i carry your hear with me, it is obvious that Mr. Cummings is very fond of a certain person and lusts for her. Though the piece is full of beautiful words that describe his love, he himself cannot create such sentences that are worthy enough to express how he feels. The line, “you are whatever a moon has always meant” proves this.
The next poem, anyone lived in a pretty how town, discusses the common pattern of life; dreams, love and ultimately death. This poem was difficult to comprehend, but I think E.E was describing a sense of equaility when he wrote lines such as "Women and men(both little and small) cared for anyone not at all", saying that no matter who you are, your dreams can fade and you can become careless.
The last poem was titled "if you like my poems let them". I didn't understand this poem whatsoever. Maybe E.E was referring to his personal writing style or maybe just himself in general because he stood out from everyone else?
These are not my favorite poems nor are they in my top ten, but Mr. Cummings does excel in expressing his feelings with words and allowing others to relate.
Edward Estlin Cummings (E.E. Cummings) has been writing poems ever since he was ten years old. His first published poems came in the anthology “Eight Harvard Poets”. One of his most outstanding characteristics in his poems is the fact that he rarely uses capitalization. I assume this to be because of his time spent as an intern at a French prison camp. French authorities suspected that he would turn on them because he was very outspoken about the war and how he was against it. He was a very popular writer who gained great success in the United States as the second most read poet behind Robert Frost.
Edward Estlin Cummings, also known as E.E Cummings, was born on October 14, 1894. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He began writing poems at the age of ten. He studied Greek and Latin at the Cambridge Latin High School. By the time of E.E Cummings death, which was on September 3, 1962, at age 68, he was the second most read poet in the United States. The number one most read poet was Robert Frost.
E.E Cummings put plenty of emotion into his poems. In I carry your heart with me, he is decribing how is carries someone's heart with him. He mainly included love in this poem. He uses a different type of grammar in his poems. He uses the word's "darling" and "dear." He used the line, "for beautiful you are my world, my true," which in my opinion he sounds like he is trying to get back with the one he loves.
In the second poem, Anyone lived in a pretty how town, I had to read over the poem at least five times. In each stanza, he is on a completely different subject. I think the overall point he was trying to make is that everyone is the same, no matter what.
I enjoy how E.E Cummings puts so much emphasis on love in his poems.
E.E. Cummings has a very particular writing style when it comes to his poems. Although I’m not very experience in the realm of poetry I have a good feeling that, it’s rather easy to spot his work from other poets based on his interesting use of grammar, capitalization and punctuation. Most of his poems seem to have emotional topics that I find to be quite unsatisfying. On the other hand, I find his word usage and order very interesting and entertaining. I may just have to look into his work a little deeper. I have a feeling I’m just not completely understanding the concepts he’s trying to push or share.
E.E. Cummings’ poetry was drastically different from anything else of the time period. He used punctuation, spelling, and form in completely different ways than had previously been used. His poems were not serious, or at least not dominantly serious. They dealt with usual poetry subjects like love but with a twist of playfulness or humor. His poem “Anyone Lived in an Anyhow Town” is about a couple, Anyone and No one, who loved each other even though no one else in their town cared about anyone except their selves. Once I understood this poem I actually liked it. “I Carry Your Heart with Me” is also a love poem. It uses parentheses a lot and I believe this is to throw the reader off, in order to make them slow down and focus more on what is between the parentheses. This poem kind of gives the feeling that you are intruding in on a couples conversation.
E. E. Cummings seems like a pretty cool dude. He’s poems are down to earth, lighthearted and with “if you like my poems let them” funny, in a humble way. His poems are indeed unique. I’ve never seen poetry with words in brackets like that (I’m not joking, its for real). It gives a sense of guidance and a presence that the author is there with you (sense he’s dead that makes it pretty creepy). If the brackets were to been seen as him sitting beside you telling you bits of information as you read it, his poems would hold new meaning. It also adds greatly to some of his other works, making it seem like your looking into the thoughts of whoever is speaking in the poem (choosing to see it this way or the other ways is left to discrimination). Such as with “i carry your heart with me”. All in all, I like his works in a not “WHAO DUDE!” way, but more so a, “eh its cool” way.

e.e. cummings was a fascinating poet. He expressed his fairly simple concepts with different styles of punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and structure that make his work unique. From his mostly capital letters, to the simple nature of his words, e.e. makes his poetry flow, and easily relatable. In “i carry your heart with me,” the subject expresses his love, and says no matter what happens, he will still love her, and do everything in his power to express that. This poem used several terms of endearment, which I guess is nice, and was a semi-relatable love poem without being overly sentimental. The second poem, “anyone lived in a pretty how town,” details the residents of an ordinary town categorized by “anyone’s” and everyone’s”, people who are not individualists, who just go through the motions of life and never really live life. I really enjoyed this poem, I had to reread several lines to clarify meaning and it made me think. The final poem, “if you like my poems let them,” explained a poem could be whatever you made of them, in this case, a fairy princess, and could take you wherever you wanted to go. I am fascinated by e.e. cummings poetry, it is unique and simplistic, and expresses concepts that appeal to me.

E.E Cummings
Edward Estlin Cummings was born in Massachusetts, on October 14th 1984, (same birthday as me☺) He begin writing poetry at the age of 10, in 1904. He also studied Latin and Greek at the Cambridge high school. He received his B.A. (Bachelors Degree in Arts) in 1915 and his M.A. (Masters degree in Art.) in 1916 at Harvard.
In 1917 He first published poems appeared in the anthology Eight Harvard Poets, but in the same year Cummings left the united states for France as a volunteer ambulance driver in World War 1. After the war Cummings had decided to settle into life on the border of Connecticut and Greenwich Village, but he also kept visiting Paris. Cummings traveled throughout Europe, discovering poems and poets. In Paris Cummings met the poets Ezra Pound, Hart Crane, and Archibald MacLeish.
E.E. Cummings was not only a poet, but also a painter with words. He doesn't paint as most writers do by giving vivid details, but he does so by unique word order and grammatical usages. Cummings supported himself by painting portraits and writing for Vanity Fair. Throughout the 1920s, he contributed to The Dial, perhaps America's greatest literary journal. And 1925 and is 5 1925, inspired by Apollinaire, were written in the poet's new style. The books presented his radical experiments with punctuation and typography, and he used lower letter cases in his own name.
Cummings died, September 3, 1962. He became the second most widely read poet in the united states, Robert Frost being first.
E.E Comings “I carry my heart with her” is carries so much beauty. His poems are one that perfectly puts into words, the emotions felt when your hearts skips a beat at the sight of a certain person, or when you yearn to be with someone JUST to be in their presence, or even the simple feeling you get in your gut when you discover that HE is the one. E. E. Comings can perfectly define love. This poem he has written was also featured in the movie, ‘In her Shoes.’ He expresses a lot of feelings with in this poem, in just a few sentences. But also even though I think the poem is about love, I kind of think it is somewhat demented toward love. If you read the line "here is the deepest secret nobody knows," it is obvious that the love is secret, and not wanting to be out in public. If you look further at the poem this person (character in poem) is continuously thinking about the other one, day and night, almost to the point of obsession. It also makes it seem like “this person” can be considered a stalker. The title of the poem itself also gives you the idea of him being a stalker. "I carry your heart with me." This guy is clearly obsessed with some other women and he is hiding it and it is starting to consume his life. Going back to the title, it’s also possible that it could be about; how someone is ripping someone else’s heart out that it hurts so much. So maybe the title isn't even about the object of obsession, but maybe the fact is about the person that the poet is married to or committed to. So this could possibly not be a love poem at all, but could be a poem about an obsessed person that is worries to death about hurting his significant other.
In Cummings poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” he based this poem on a man named Anyone and a woman named No one, how they where so in love with each, and it also goes on the basics of life. It also has a theme just like Romeo and Juliet. To me, it’s like a heart breaking poem Not for Anyone and No one but for the Everyone’s and Someone’s. They rejected Anyone and he found happiness with No one, they went through life and hide their pain when they "laughed their cryings". To top that off they gave up all hope when they said “their nevers and slept their dream". At least No one and Anyone had a life together where living their dreams.
Taylor Reed
In the poem I Carry Your Heart With Me, he seems to be a very emotional person. He talks about this person and how much they mean to him, and how he could not do anything without them. In the poem anyone lived in a pretty how Town, I like how his description his not hug words that people can’t understand. He seems to be more focused on letting the reader understand what he is talking about. To me most poetry does not make since because the detail is so confusing. But when I read his poetry it just flows and makes since.

Assignment #3
Edward Estlin Cummings was a great poet. His style was very different from anything else of his time. E.E was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, October 14, 1984. He started writing at a very young age. He Attended Harvard and studied grammar.
Edward Estlim Cummings poem “I carry you with me” I absolutely love. He is so dedicated to love forever. Love is forever and today we sometimes over look the true meaning of love. I think that he really makes it now throughout this poem that he’ll lover her forever. I can really connect to this poem because I believe love is forever and not when it just convent. No matter were he goes he will always have a piece of her with him.
E. E. Cummings is an extrodanary poet who puts a great deal of emotion into his poetry. People can relate to his poetry which is important.
In his poem I carry your heart with me is a great example of this because it talks about how he carries her heart within his own. This shows love and others can relate to that.
In his poem Anyone Live in a Pretty Town talks about how women and men are both alike. They are both small and little. People are alike in several ways so they can relate to this poem.
If you like my poems talks about how a princess is going to meet her lover. This happens in real life too.
E.E Cummings is a wonderful poet who express his feelings and emotions in his poems. To me, these three poems are very positive. I carry your heart with me, somebody he loves and he talks about how he carries their heart in his. This to me his a love peom, its very emotional. E.E Cummings pours out his feelings.
Anyone lived in a pretty how town, was hard for me to understand and get the true meaning. Its basically talking about how people live, love, dream, talk, and so on. The last poem we read was, If you like my poems let them, this was obviously writen to and for his readers. His poems are very inspirational and he's telling his readers to take the poems in and let them help you in anyway possible.
pMegan Smallwood
E.E Cummings grew to be an amazing and inspiring writer. He can pack masses of meaning within just a few words. what he was getting at in these few lines of “I Carry Your Heart with Me” is that life is like a tree that grows upward and outward and has very complicated components like roots and buds. It grows so tall it seems to reach and even be a part of the sky. Now by "root of the root", "bud of the bud" and "sky of the sky" I think he is saying, here is the essence of this tree, that it grows so tall that even the soul, which is the source of hope in us, can't grasp it all, and even the mind, which is expert at hiding things from us, can't hide it all. This poem was a poem of love. Cummings often wrote other poems in the same style, he writes so that many can relate and so his writing is directed to a larger audience. His poem "anyone lived in a pretty how town" he describes how so many different people can fall in love. A man named anyone falls in love with a woman named no one, after reading this poem you may be able to relate to “Romeo and Juliet”. E.E Cummings is a very touching writer, and can captivate you through his words.
E.E. Cummings, otherwise known as Edward Estlin Cummins, was a very intelligent and creative man. He was enrolled in high class schools, meant for the best students. He received his B.A. and M.A. both from Harvard. His poetry allows us to get an insight on his wondrous mind. He shows his feelings in many of his poems, talking about love, happiness, sadness, and other forms of human traits. He uses many seasonal words in his poems as well. Relating earthly traits to human traits. His poems allows us to understand him as a person; they let us know who hoe his mind works.
E.E. Cummings has written many great poems. Cummings had a very unique style of writing poetry. In Cummings poem " I carry your heart with me", Cummings uses a lot of parentheses. I think he does this because he wants to draw special attention and emphasis to the words inside them. This is a beautiful poem written about a man confessing his love to a woman.In all the parentheses he is constantly restating how much he loves this girl and assures her that he loves her and carries her heart with him always. In cummings poem " anyone lived in a pretty how town", Cummings uses parentheses and odd names to symbolize two people in love.He uses the word anyone as the name for a guy in the poem, and the word noone for the girl in the poem. This poem talks about how no one cares about anyone except for "noone" and " anyone". It is clever and ironic that he used those words as the names of the lovers.
Edward Estlin Cummings, also know as E.E. Cummings, shows a unique style of writing in his poems. He abandons traditional techniques and arrangements to create a new highly individual means of poetry. He was often criticized for his unique poetry style, but he still became one of the most famous and exceptionally talented writer and artist. A lot of E.E. Cummings poetry is based on feeling, such as love. The poem “I carry your heart with me” is a poem about being in love with someone, and always keeping their heart inside of yours. He carries their heart whereever he goes and the poem is written in the unique style that he is most famous for.
As in E.E Cummings biography it said young readers liked his poems for the simplicity of the language. The three poems are just the same simple and to the point. They write a story of the theme in the title. He didn’t seem to have much love in his life compared to his biography. In another biography it spoke of three wives. Which explained where the poems he must of been in love with I carry your heart with me. Then the second told of a time when we weren’t all so busy and people was always free with time and took their time. The last poem listed went back to the first in the way of love. That was in the second stanza. The first said though if they liked his poems let them. In which was the main thought. His poems are good and have some love included and are good for all audiences, especially young adults.

E.E. Cummings is one of my favorite poets. “I carry you heart with me” would happen to be one of my favorite poems by him. I find his style very confusing. Well most of his poems confusing but very well written. Although his poetry may be confusing to me it is entertaining to read. Cummings poetry attracts young readers because of his subjects and simplicity of his language. I can relate to some of his poems jus by the way he words his poems, it’s like I’m in the poem sometimes. I love the way E.E. Cummings writes, it’s easy for me to understand and kind of like the way I like to write my poetry.
In the poem 'i carry your heart with me' i got some very strong feelings from it. When i first read this poem i found it diffucult to undertand but after i read it a couple of times it was starting to make more sense. His style of poetry is very emotional. I believe that this poem is a love poem. He is telling someone that he loves them and will always carry thier heart with him wherever he is. When he was explaining 'i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true' he is telling us that she is his world and she is everything to him (thats what i got out of it).
The poems “I carry your heart with me” and “anyone lived in a pretty how town” are beautiful poems written by E.E. Cummings. These poems express so many complex emotions and give us an understanding of E.’s state of mind while writing them. Conversely, nearly everyone can relate to them in some way or another. A person reading these poems can interpret them in many different ways, seeking to understand a problem or emotion in their own life.
He also seems to explain his poems and include double meanings in his poems, encouraging the reader to read between the lines, especially in “I carry your heart with me”. He includes supporting facts and double meanings in parenthesis all through the poem, as if they are his thoughts, and his thinking them to the reader instead of writing them.

5th Period
Edward Estlin Cummings better known as E.E Cummings is one of the most extrodinary poets of his time. He has created really his own emotional poetry just as in his poem " I carry your heart with me." He tells us that if you love someone enough that they will become apart of you and you can never let them go no matter what happens. Cummings went to school at Hardvard for 4 years but his poetry writing started at his highschool of Cambridge High. Cummings is truely an inspirational poet to everyone through the very emotional work that he did.
Edward Estlin Cummings of Cambrige,Massachusetts is a phenomenal American poet.E.E was first introduced to writing by his mother Rebecca, when he was a child.Cumming's had a very unique style of writing. His use of punctuation, or his non-use of punctuation rather,made his poems very individual. in the poem " I carry your heart with me",E.E discuses having a woman's heart and she having his. he is very much in love with the woman he is writing about or at least he was and he wanted to to express his love for her and he accomplished that in the poem. he wanted everyone to know that he had the most magnificent thing that anyone could ever have and that was his lover's heart. and although you could read his feelings about her you could still not begin to understand the secrets of their hearts. the way one felt about the other still could never be comprehended by reading the poem but you could be able to at least grasp the idea.
"Anyone Lived In A Pretty How Town" was a confusing poem to me. i can appreciate his brilliance in being able to write so well but it was pretty difficult to make sense of.
E.E's third poem "If You Like My Poems Let Them" was a very basic poem. He takes pride in this poem and i think that even he was able to recognize his remarkable writing abilities in composing his work.
E.E. Cummings was great poet and a different kind of poet. What really made him different from other poets was that in his works he did not capitalize his words. Then most of his poems have to do with love. He likes to use parentheses “(;)” to add a little extra detail and just like a side note or a whispering of another voice emphasizing what he is saying. E.E. Cummings has seen a lot, like he has been, sort of in the war, world war I. He left the U.S. to become an France to drive an ambulance. He was a very intricate man and seen a lot and new a lot and it shows in his poetry.
E. E. Cummings or Edward Estlin Cummings is a well known, American poet who, like most poets, expresses his emotions and spreads a message with his poetry. In I Carry Your Heart With Me he is describing how he figuratively is carrying someone’s heart around with him while they are apart.
