The deft white-stockinged dance in thick-soled
shoes! Denmark's sanctuaried Jews!

Does it follow that because there are poisonous toadstools
which resemble mushrooms, both are dangerous?

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

and s...

Camels are snobbish
and sheep, unintelligent; water buffaloes, neurasthenic--
even murderous.
Reindeer seem over-serious.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

Of the crow-blue mussel shells...

Of the crow-blue mussel shells, one keeps
adjusting the ash heaps;
opening and shutting itself like

an
injured fan.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

At all events there is in Broo...

At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

What is
there in being able
to say that one has dominated the stream in an attitude of
self-defense;

in proving that one has had the experience
of carrying a stick?

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

Victory won't come

...

Victory won't come

to me unless I go
to it; a grape tendril
ties a knot in knots till

knotted thirty times

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

Sun and moon and day and night...

Sun and moon and day and night and man and beast
each with a splendor
which man in all his vileness cannot
set aside; each with an excellence!

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

the ocean, under the pulsation...

the ocean, under the pulsation of lighthouses and noise of bell
buoys,
advances as usual, looking as if it were not that ocean in which
dropped things are bound to sink--
in which if they turn and twist, it is neither with volition nor
consciousness.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

repression, however, is not the most obvious characteristic of the
sea;
the sea is a collector, quick to return a rapacious look.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

the small tuft of fronds or ka...

the small tuft of fronds or katydid legs above each eye, still
numbering the units in each group;
the shadbones regularly set about the mouth, to droop or rise

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

Unconfusion submits
its confusion to proof; it's
not a Herod's oath that cannot change.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

When one cannot appraise out of one's own experience, the temptation to blunder is minimized, but even when one can, appraisal seems chiefly useful as appraisal of the appraiser.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

War is pillage versus resistance and if illusions of magnitude could be transmuted into ideals of magnanimity, peace might be realized.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

Among animals, one has a sense of humor. Humor saves a few steps, it saves years.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

[The] whirlwind fife-and-drum of the storm bends the salt marsh grass, disturbs stars in the sky and the star on the steeple; it is a privilege to see so much confusion.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

Everything I have written is the result of reading or of interest in people.

Marianne Moore 140 quotes

What I write could only be called poetry because there is no other category to put it.

You are not male nor female, but a plan deep-set within the heart of man.

that which is impossible to force, it is impossible to hinder.
