“In anything I have written, there have been lines in which the chief interest is borrowed, and I have not yet been able to outgrow this hybrid method of composition, acknowledgements seem only honest.” That’s Marianne Moore, in “A Note on the Notes.” SUNY’s Cristanne Miller provides a citation-chain analysis here reiterated: “‘The chief interest’ of many lines, [Moore] writes, ‘is borrowed.’ Such a claim... [defines] a poetic based on hearing and reading the words of others... [asserting] structures of interaction. As Tess Gallagher suggests, Moore ‘preferred the responsibility of conversation to the responsibility of orator.’” Dialogue dialogue dialogue: the facilitated breeding of stud and broodmare—“this” and “that” together making “us” in “thus.”
