Children watch them playing in their heavenly playground; Men use them to lug ships across oceans, through firths. Thet seem so twinkle-still, but they never cease Inventing new species and huge explosions And migrating in mathematical tribes over The steppes of space at their outrageous ease.

A Face Marianne Moore 'I am NOT treacherous, callous,[well-a little], jealous, superstitious, supercilious[maybe-maybenot], venomous, or absolutely hideous!': ..studying and studying its expression, .......exasperated desperation ............though at no real impasse, .............would gladly break the glass; when love of order, ardour, uncircuitous simplicity, with an expression of inquiry, are all one needs to be! ..Certain faces, a few, one or two--or one .......face photographed by recollection-- ............to my mind, to my sight, .............must remain a deight!
