Marianne Moore

Here you will find the Poem He Made This Screen of poet Marianne Moore

He Made This Screen

not of silver nor of coral, 
but of weatherbeaten laurel. 

Here, he introduced a sea 
uniform like tapestry; 

here, a fig-tree; there, a face; 
there, a dragon circling space -- 

designating here, a bower; 
there, a pointed passion-flower.
