When they become so derivative as to become unintelligible, the same thing may be said for all of us, that we do not admire what we cannot understand: the bat holding on upside down or in quest of something to eat, elephants pushing, a wild horse taking a roll, a tireless wolf under a tree, the immovable critic twitching his skin like a horse that feels a flea, the base- ball fan, the statistician— nor is it valid to discriminate against "business documents and school-books"; all these phenomena are important.

Hands that can grasp, eyes that can dilate, hair that can rise if it must, these things are important not because a high-sounding interpretation can be put upon them but because they are useful.

An epigram compresses adroitly a mass of knowledge, thanks to the writer's unquenchable wit; Moore later wrote on a much larger scale without abandoning the epigrammatic yen for unmatched precision, for what she called "exact perception."

He sees deep and is glad, who accedes to mortality and in his imprisonment rises upon himself as the sea in a chasm, struggling to be free and unable to be,           in its surrendering           finds its continuing.

Unignorant,          modest and unemotional, and all emotion,          he has everlasting vigor,            power to grow,            though there are few creatures who can make one             breathe faster and make one erecter.

The diffident little newt   with white pin-dots on black horizontal spaced-   out bands lives here; yet there is nothing that ambition can buy or take away.

Victory won't come   to me unless I go to it; a grape tendril ties a knot in knots till   knotted thirty times - so the bound twig that's under- gone and over-gone, can't stir.

They're natural,--     the coat, like Venus' mantle lined with stars, buttoned close at the neck,-the sleeves new from disuse.
