Marianne Moore
November 15, 1887 – February 5, 1972 / Kirkwood, Missouri
He Made This Screen
LIKE THIS POEM
not of silver nor of coral,
but of weatherbeaten laurel.
Here, he introduced a sea
uniform like tapestry;
here, a fig-tree; there, a face;
there, a dragon circling space --
designating here, a bower;
there, a pointed passion-flower.
