Literature, poetry in particular, has always intrigued readers, especially those who
have an interest in delving deeper into it with a view to appreciating and
interpreting it, such as literary critics, linguists, literary stylists, and more recently,
cognitive linguists. The literary critic looks at it from an aesthetic point of view
whereas the literary stylist and the cognitive linguist from the linguistic point of
view with the latter adding a cognitive dimension to their interpretation. The most
prevalent approach to studying poetry in Pakistan is the literary criticism approach.
Very few would study literature through linguistics. Intrigued by both literary
stylistics and cognitive linguistics, we studied some very obscure poems through
these two approaches and discovered that they indeed were helpful in illuminating
some of the hitherto obfuscated areas of those poems. In this essay, we present an
application of literary stylistics and cognitive poetics to a poem by e. e. cummings,
“Humanity I love you.”
