of poetry. Another modern master, E.E. Cummings (1894-1962), wrote this marvel of concision and economy: "L(a" l(a/le/af/fa/ll/s)/one/l/iness. Note the concrete image, "a leaf falls," is encapsulated parenthetically within the abstraction "loneliness"--the word itself arranged by line breaks that emphasize the one-ness of loneliness.
