all which

    isn't singing is mere talking
                        and all talking's talking to oneself
                        (whether that oneself be sought or seeking
                        master or disciple sheep or wolf)

                        gush to it as diety or devil
                        -toss in sobs and reasons threats and smiles
                        name it cruel fair or blessed evil-
                        it is you (ne i)nobody else

                        drive dumb mankind dizzy with haranguing
                        -you are deafened every mother's son-
                        all is merely talk which isn't singing
                        and all talking's to oneself alone

                        but the very song of (as mountains
                        feel and lovers) singing is silence

                                -e e cummings
