Wagathon, this should probably be posted on the science demarcation thread, but since you mentioned e e cummings …
O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting
… fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked
thee
, has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy
… beauty , how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and
buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
(but
true
to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover
… thou answerest
them only with
spring!
