The Beauty of the Husband by Anne Carson

"An ideal wine grape/
is one that is easily crushed."

"But emphasis is too general a word/
for the dip and slant/
of mindfulness/
that occurs in cognition just/
there: singe it."

"You know Nahum Tate rewrote King Lear in 1681 and his improvements took the form (besides a happy ending) of reducing occurrences of the word if from 247 to 33."

"Once we found unborn young just beneath the savage heart. Ah said Nono apples in the dark. He sliced them out. I was jealous. Tenderness flooded his voice."
