A Jelly-Fish

Visible, invisible,
a fluctuating charm
an amber-tinctured amethyst
inhabits it, your arm
approaches and it opens
and it closes; you had meant
to catch it and it quivers;
you abandon your intent.
--Marianne Moore

@richardr I'll have to look for the Hollenberg book - Gillian Hanscombe & Virginia Smyers' work "Writing for their Lives" (1987) did a good job of highlighting the interconnectedness of H.D., Marianne Moore, Djuna Barnes, Amy Lowell, Mina Loy, Sylvia Beach, etc. But their lives definitely could be adapted onto film of some sort (plenty of DRAMA!)

O to be a dragon, a symbol of the power of Heaven - of silkworm size or immense; at times invisible

This is a strange fraternity ... the lion standing up against this screen of woven air which is the forest: the unicorn also, on its hind legs in reciprocity

Love, ah Love, when your slipknot's drawn, One can but say, "Farewell, good sense"
