Not "e. e. cummings" Revisited

In the first link:
Quote:
"I am a small eye poet." Notice that he capitalizes the first-person singular,

Maybe, I need a little more to prove he not merely capitalizing the first letter of the sentence.

In the second link, the text of their "correctly" capitalized plaque:
Quote:
4 PATCHIN PLACE
ONE-TIME HOME OF "POETandPAINTER" E. E. CUMMINGS (d. 1962) AND
HIS WIFE, MODEL AND PHOTOGRAPHER MARION MOREHOUSE (d. 1969)

They capitalized everything! Did they think other people would put "e. e. cUMMINGS" in that situation? Is "POETandPAINTER" with no spaces something from the poet (and how is it capitalized there) or another example of Norman Friedman's superior orthography?
