"Since Feeling is First" by E. E. Cummings Divide this poem into sentences that express complete thoughts. Where does each sentence begin and end?

One of the challenges with the poetry of e. e. cummings is
to achieve precisely what you have mentioned - it is difficult to break it down into
logical sentence structure. Obviously you might come up with some different answers but
here is a suggestion to get you started:


Since feeling is
first who pays any attention to teh syntax of things will never wholly kiss
you.


Wholly to be a fool whilst Sprin is in the
world.


My blood approves, and kisses are a beter fate than
wisdom.


Lady I swear by all
flowers.


Don't cry - the best gesture of my brain is less
that your eyelids' flutter which says we are for each
other.


Then laugh, leaning back in my
arms.


For life's not a paragraph and death I think is no
paranthesis.


Hope this helps!
