Marianne Moore on Music

1887–1972 United States

← All quotes by Marianne Moore

3 quotes

There is an inevitable connection between music and poetry.

I tend to write in patterned arrangement with rhymes.. I try to secure an effect of flowing continuity and the correspondence between verse and music.

I have been influenced by the Bible, Bach's music and contemporarily by Pound, Eliot, Stevens, Williams and Hopkins.
