“Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond” by E.E. Cummings is a poem about the power of love.The title of the poem implies that the poet has not experienced a love like this, but he is glad to experience it now and beyond. E.E. Cummings describes how he is so easily trapped and amazed by his lover so much that she even has a control over him. He is mesmerized by his lover, but is not really sure as to what is drawing him in so strongly. He describes his lover as a rose, and a rose is a dainty flower with many petals. The author expresses how he is enclosed in her love (petals). He mentions the fragility because he is making it known that her love is something to be careful with. It’s her silence and simple movements that have him infatuated. She doesn't have to speak for him to love her, because he is lost in her features which speak for her; “The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses.” He feels that nothing in the world compares to her “intense fragility” because that is what makes her so beautiful. He feels that she has to the power to change how he see’s death and she makes him believe in forever.
