And how the cunning picture holds her still
At just that smiling instant when her soul,
Grown sweetly faint, and swept beyond control,
Consents to his inexorable will.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“Blest with each talent, and each art to please,
And born to write, converse, and live with ease”

rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...

a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
