What e.e.cummings poem does the line “for giving and only giving is the reason for living”?
The line appears to be a little different, if this is the one that you are looking for. when more than was lost has been found has been found and having is giving and giving is living- but keeping is darkness and winter and cringing -it’s spring(all our night becomes day)o,it’s spring! That’s a segment from “when faces called flowers float out of the ground” — linked to below.
