"little tree
little silent Christmas tree
you are so little
you are more like a flower
who found you in the green forest
and were you very sorry to come away?"
The correct answer is 'ee cummings'
The lack of capitalisation and punctuation unmistakeably marks the quotation above as the work of cummings (although the other three also wrote poems on the subject). cummings' charming and touching poem reflects a child's thoughts upon seeing a Christmas tree, and recalls Hans Christian Anderson's bittersweet tale "The Fir Tree" The poem was first published in "The Dial" in January of 1920.
Edward Estlin Cummings (1894-1962) was a native of Cambridge Massachusets, though he sepnt much of his adult life in Paris, afer having served there in the ambulance corps during WWI. A painter as well as a poet (though he is principally known as the latter), his nonconformist disregard for punctuation and capitalisation earned him both detractors and imitators. It is woth noting that cummings was eccentric even in his eccentricity; he actually was fond of hyphens and parenthesis, while eschewing all other forms of punctuation.
