Enjoyed :) "Not one of all the purple Host / Who took the Flag to-day / Can tell the definition / So clear, of Victory" - this passage would have a different connotation nowadays what with red vs. blue and purples on the fence.

Nothing and something in balance... enjoyed :)

"beyond the brittle towns asleep"."beyond the brittle towns asleep«^ by e. e. cummings
https://allpoetry.com/beyond-the-brittle-towns-asleep
e. e. cummings' use of words and phrases is amazing... I wonder how forced or contrived his process was, or was it natural ? Enjoyed :)
p.s. e.e. - Did find this after a quick study: https://www.enotes.com/topics/e-e-cu...tlin-1894-1962
"Contemplating Hell, as I once heard it," - Bertolt Brecht; Contemplating Hell... https://allpoetry.com/Contemplating-Hell
I have still to finish reading it, but loved this selection of criticism on e.e. cummings poetry. I think you are right, being experimental, it is constructed and not spontaneous. But in these sense he seems to be unique in American poetry, maybe in poetry in English language. Anyway I found interesting the diversity in the criticism.
Enjoyed BB's comparison of modern city life with hell
