e.e. cummings ...is this a name?

somewhere i have never traveled by e.e cummings is one of my most favorite poems in the second package of poems. as you can notice by the title, one reason why this poem was interesting to me was because it didn't have any capitalization rules applied. other than that, the title is pretty self-explanatory. the author talks about an imaginative place in which she has never been:

"somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:"


i like the part where it says "your eyes have their silence". based on my opinion i think that the meaning of that sentence is that the eyes are silent because their are content with the view that they are getting. 

"(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)"
  


this is also a part that i like because I think that it would be great for a romantic line that you could tell to your girl/boyfriend.
