Additional quotes by Marianne Moore

I tend to write in patterned arrangement with rhymes.. I try to secure an effect of flowing continuity and the correspondence between verse and music.

Like strangler figs choking
a banyan, not an explorer, no imperialist,
not one of us, in taking what we
pleased — in colonizing as the
saying is — has been a synonym for mercy.

The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence;
not in silence, but restraint.
