    E.E. Cummings
    If

    "If freckles were lovely, and day was night,
    And measles were nice and a lie warn't a lie,
    Life would be delight,--
    But things couldn't go right
    For in such a sad plight
    I wouldn't be I.

    If earth was heaven and now was hence,
    And past was present, and false was true,
    There might be some sense
    But I'd be in suspense
    For on such a pretense
    You wouldn't be you.

    If fear was plucky, and globes were square,
    And dirt was cleanly and tears were glee
    Things would seem fair,--
    Yet they'd all despair,
    For if here was there
    We wouldn't be we.”
    E.E. Cummings

    “All shadows of clouds the sun cannot hide
    like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide;
    but a hidden star can still be smiling
    at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling”
    Munia Khan
