Marianne Moore Quotes

TO A GIRAFFE
If It Is Unpermissible, In Fact Fatal
to Be Personal And Undesirable
to Be Literal - Detrimental As Well
if The Eye Is Not Innocent-does It Mean That
one Can Live Only On Top Leaves That Are Small
reachable Only By A Beast That Is Tall? -
of Which The Giraffe Is The Best Example -
the Unconversational Animal.
When Plagued By The Psychological,
a Creature Can Be Unbearable
That Could Have Been Irresistible;
or To Be Exact, Exceptional
since Less Conversational
than Some Emotionally-tied-in-knots Animal.
After All
consolations Of The Metaphysical
can Be Profound. In Homer, Existence
is Flawed; Transcendence, Conditional;
"the Journey From Sin To Redemption, Perpetual.
