Even though E.E. Cummings later in life became and ardent supporter of Joseph McCarthy, this quote

from Ever-Ever Land is apropos in today's political and social climate.

“ (of Ever-Ever Land i speak
sweet morons gather roun’
who does not dare to stand or sit
may take it lying down)

down with the human soul
and anything else uncanned
for everyone carries canopeners
in Ever-Ever Land"

Joseph McCarthy was a despicable piece of human garbage.
