Additional quotes by Marianne Moore

Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron, iron is iron till it is rust. There never was a war that was not inward;

...in which letters are written / not in Spanish, not in Greek, not in Latin, not in shorthand / but in plain American which cats and dogs can read!

Poetry
...
... a place for the genuine,
Hands that can grasp, eyes
that can dilate, hair that can rise
