IN 'DESIGNING A CLOAK TO CLOAK HIS DESIGNS' YOU WRESTED FROM OBLIVION, by MARIANNE MOORE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Cowed by his uningenious will Last Line: To serve two masters. Subject(s): Clothing & Dress; Immortality | |||
a Coat of Immortality for your own Use. COWED by his uningenious will Of dragon-like demeanor, till It left them orphans. His foibles clustered underneath Him, dominated by a wreath Of upright half notes. Encumbered as he was with pride, But for that coat he might have died So despicably That kindness might have seemed unkind Had not the garment been designed To serve two masters. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WALLACE STEVENS' LETTERS by ROBERT BLY DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING by DAVID IGNATOW I CLOSE MY EYES by DAVID IGNATOW THE THINGS THAT DIE by GREGORY ORR THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON YOUTH'S IMMORTALITY by GEORGE SANTAYANA I MAY, I MIGHT, I MUST by MARIANNE MOORE |
