Quotes from e.e. cummings' Poem 95 if up's the word; and a world grows greener minute by second and most by more— if beggars are rich (and a robin will sing his robin a song) but misers are poor— let's love until noone could quite be (and young is the year, dear) as living as i'm and you're —let's touch the sky: e. e. cummings (1894-1962), 95 Poems (1958), "Poem 95"

Happy 95th Birthday dear Harold—
May your 95th year be beautiful,
fruitful and wonderful!

With joyous wishes,

Peter
