https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._E._Cummings ‘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.
