Robert Lowell Quote

The aquarium is gone. Everywhere,
giant finned cars nose forward like fish;
a savage servility
slides by on grease.


'For the Union Dead' (1964)


The aquarium is gone. Everywhere, giant finned cars nose forward like fish; a savage servility slides by on grease.

The aquarium is gone. Everywhere, giant finned cars nose forward like fish; a savage servility slides by on grease.

The aquarium is gone. Everywhere, giant finned cars nose forward like fish; a savage servility slides by on grease.

The aquarium is gone. Everywhere, giant finned cars nose forward like fish; a savage servility slides by on grease.
