Additional quotes by Marianne Moore
"An Egyptian Pulled Glass Bottle In The Shape Of A Fish"
Here we have thirst
and patience, from the first,
and art, as in a wave held up for us to see
in its essential perpendicularity;
Not brittle but
intense — the spectrum, that
spectacular and humble animal the fish,
whose scales turn aside the sun's sword with their polish.
