I think I got it:

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

Beautiful line!

I didn't get the phrase right? Oh my! What can that last letter be?

Subject: Re: Play Hangman!!! :) Thu Feb 12, 2015 1:28 pm

No, you did! yesss

I remember learning that poem in high school. Cummings was one of my favorites. Here's the whole thing.

You shall above all things be glad and young,
for if you're young, whatever life you wear

It will become you; and if you are glad
whatever's living will yourself become.
Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need:
i can entirely her only love

whose any mystery makes every man's
flesh put space on, and his mind take off time

that you should ever think, may god forbid
and (in his mercy) your true lover spare:
for that way knowledge lies, the foetal grave
called progress, and negation's dead undoom.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

Wow, that is beautiful!

Speaking of E.E. Cummings, I actually got to hear one of his poems on a classic and very emotional episode of a famous tv show:

Once someone gets it, I'll see if I can find that video and post it here. Anyway, this is the show.
