THE JUST MAN AND, by MARIANNE MOORE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: His pie. 'I would be
Last Line: And found in it nothing for himself.
First Line: His pie. 'I would be
Last Line: And found in it nothing for himself.
HIS pie. "I would be
Repossessed of all the

That I might use them in praise of it."
The four and twenty
Birds were singing while he
Apportioned it off casually
And found in it nothing for himself.
