It’s like Marianne Moore invented these words. They are esoteric— I am learning English again.
She sets off fireworks in Walking Sticks… the look of tempered sword-/steel; of three-ore-d/fishscale-burnished antimony-/lead-and-tin smoky water-drop type-metal/ smoothness emery-armored/against rust.
Man it’s like walking into a thrift store and finding a big room full of things you didn’t know you needed!
