I, too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle.

Marianne Moore

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

Marianne Moore

has not altered;—
a place as kind as it is green,
the greenest place I've never seen.
