In anyone lived ina pretty how town Cummings begins the word with a lowercase letter in order to?

e.e. cummings often capitalized the first letter of a word for emphasis or to make a certain word stand out. In this poem, he used the lowercase "i" in "in" to draw attention to the word "lived." By de-emphasizing the word "in," cummings highlights the importance of the place where the person lived—the "pretty how town."
