UN ROSTRO


¡CUANDO AMOR U ORDEN, PASION Y DERECHA SENCILLEZ
CON UNA EXPRESION INQUISITIVA, ES TODO LO QUE UNO NECESITA!
CIERTOS ROSTROS, UNOS POCOS, UNO O DOS-O UN
ROSTRO FOTOGRAFIADO Y RECOLECTADO-
PARA MI MENTE, PARA MI VISTA
DEBEN PERMANECER COMO UNA DELICIA.

MARIANNE MOORE (UN ROSTRO, FRAGMENTO)

For what it is worth, one can invent a personal myth. One can try and convince oneself that life is worth efforts of affection and loving observation, that vicarious pleasures are real, that loss and desecration are only temporary setbacks in a vision that is essentially whole and infrangible. Myths, like dreams, express wishes, wishes to do away with limitations. Marianne Moore expresses her wishes with as much directness as she does her sense of limitation.

Pamela White Hadas (from Marianne Moore: Poet of Affection)
