Question

Cameron Diaz recites it to her sister in the wedding scene in the movie "In her shoes"

Answer 1

and here's the ee cummmings poem "I carry your heart with me" that certainly evokes strong feelings from the audience

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

all I can say is that, I started reading up on more american poetry after this (not that I don't appreciate robert frost or even pablo neruda) but this movie just made want me to study and also craft poems.

The theme of loss and love couldn't have been more timely - it's NOT a chick flick by the way, I think a lot of guys can benefit from watching it!
