Synopsis
Marianne Moore (1887 – 1972) was an American Modernist poet who was known for her sense of irony and biting wit. From A Grave: Man looking into the sea, taking the view from those who have as much right to it as you have to it yourself, it is human nature to stand in the middle of a thing, but you cannot stand in the middle of this; the sea has nothing to give but a well excavated grave.
