  ‘M. L. Rosenthal wrote that: “The chief effect of Cummings' jugglery with
  syntax, grammar, and diction was to blow open otherwise trite and bathetic
  motifs through a dynamic rediscovery of the energies sealed up in
  conventional usage ... He succeeded masterfully in splitting the atom of the
  cute commonplace.[1]”’

ischaemic damage to Broca’s area on an MRI brain.
