Classic and Contemporary Poetry


QUI S'EXCUSE S'ACCUSE by MARIANNE MOORE

Poet Analysis

First Line: ART IS EXACT PERCEPTION
Last Line: NEED APOLOGIZE FOR ART.
Subject(s): ART & ARTISTS;

Art is exact perception;
If the outcome is deception
Then I think the fault must lie
Partly with the critic's eye,
And no man who's done his part
Need apologize for art.
