"love is more thicker than forget/more thinner than recall/more seldom than a wave is wet/more frequent than to fail/it is most mad and moonly/and less it shall unbe/than all the sea which only/is deeper than the sea/love is less always than to win/less never than alive/less bigger than the least begin/less littler than forgive/it is most sane and sunly/and more it cannot die/than all the sky which only/is higher than the sky" - E.E. Cummings, "love is more thicker than forget"
