Oliver Moore

Famous quotes containing the words oliver and/or moore:

    My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
    Smiling, in faulty grammar,
    She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
    So to please her I studied—but I will remember always
    How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
    All the wild sauces of the brimming year.
    —Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

    What is there

    like fortitude! What sap
    went through that little thread
    to make the cherry red!
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
