A Living Dance Upon Dead Minds

it's not C.S. Lewis, ee cummings.

Org. Poem is as follows.

but if a living dance upon dead minds why,it is love;but at the earliest spear of sun perfectly should disappear moon's utmost magic,or stones speak or one name control more incredible splendor than our merely universe, love's also there: and being here imprisoned,tortured here love everywhere exploding maims and blinds (but surely does not forget,perish, sleep cannot be photographed,measured;disdains the trivial labelling of punctual brains... -Who wields a poem huger than the grave? from only Whom shall time no refuge keep though all the weird worlds must be opened? )Love

love everywhere exploding, maims and blinds a living dance upon dead minds

could be about war. mines underground. and this is the message of love that we send to these victims. we say we try to save them and that we love them, but we blow them up instead.

but surely does not forget(perish) sleep, cannot be photographed(measured) disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains but surely does not forget(perish) sleep, cannot be photographed(measured) disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains

dont know bout this part.

why its love but at the earliest spear of sun perfectly should disappear

our "love" blocks out any shred of hope for them

who wields a poem huger than the grave who wields a poem huger than the grave who wields a poem huger than the grave who wields a poem huger than the grave

whos words are better than ours that they can cause death.

but surely does not forget(perish) sleep, cannot be photographed(measured) disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains but surely does not forget(perish) sleep, cannot be photographed(measured) disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains

but surely does not forget(perish) sleep, cannot be photographed(measured) disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains but surely does not forget(perish) sleep, cannot be photographed(measured) disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains

dont know. thats my take on it.

"disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains"

this means that we should not try to "label" love in a punctual way, or in other terms, we should not try to describe love, as it is beyond common comprehension

it is NOT talking about labeling our brains, but actually saying we should not try to "label" love with our "punctual brains"

Three words: Love Trancends All.

"who wields a poem huger than the grave" Poem=love Grave=death

This is actually oringinally a poem buy a guy whos name alludes me at the moment

C.S. Lewis...also As The Ruin Falls was an original poem by C.S. Lewis

i like the use of poetry in this song i like this song very much

This song is the best. I love this song. Thrice is sooo awesome. =)

this song is about how we try to quantify life and make it seem ordered and predictable but there is something beautifull about it that we can't even begin to understand but which we all know deep inside of ourselves

hey deadbolt... this poem is by E.E. Cummings, "as the ruin falls" is by C.S. Lewis tho
