there are some many beautiful lines in this but to pick out just one or two would not do them justice - it is the whole coherence of the poem as a story that makes the imagery so powerful.

I urge you to read it.

Good indeed! Seems to be about the misinterpretation/misrepresentation (and similar multisyllabic words) of beauty. Sad, yet also hopeful re the power of true beauty. :-) * P * :-)

Beautiful. You're right Juliet, it's a very complete whole but I love Their words tore the moon from her belly. Under her skin she was full of seafruits, plums, and raspberries. Wow.
