TO BE LIKED BY YOU WOULD BE A CALAMITY, by MARIANNE MOORE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Attack is more piquant than concord,' but when Last Line: Are a shout. Subject(s): Hardy, Thomas (1840-1928); Poetry & Poets | |||
"ATTACK is more piquant than concord," but when You tell me frankly that you would like to feel My flesh beneath your feet, I'm all abroad; I can but put my weapon up, and Bow you out. Gesticulation—it is half the language. Let unsheathed gesticulation be the steel Your courtesy must meet, Since in your hearing words are mute, which to my senses Are a shout. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
