APPELLATE JURISDICTION by MARIANNE MOORE

Poet Analysis

First Line: FRAGMENTS OF SIN ARE A PART OF ME
Last Line: SHALL HE? SHALL HE?
Subject(s): SIN;
Fragments of sin are a part of me.
New brooms shall sweep clean the heart of me.
Shall they? Shall they?

When this light life shall have passed away,
God shall redeem me, a castaway.
Shall He? Shall He?
