請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題 Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because there was no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, “‘Why the many quotation marks?’ I am asked. . . when a thing has been said so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber.” Close observation and consentration on detail are the methods of her poetry. Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Louis. After graduation from Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian school in Carlisle, Pennsylvannia. Later, she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s, she was editor of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers—before the team moved to Los Angeles—was widely known.Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with the imagist movement. From that time on, her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry “for money or fame. To earn a living is needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire to objectify what is indispensable to one’s happiness to express....”

玛丽安·摩尔(Marianne Moore, 1887-1972)曾经说过，她的作品之所以能被称为诗歌，只是因为没有其他的名称。事实上，她的诗似乎是极其压缩的随笔，恰好以锯齿状的线条印在书页上。她的题材多种多样:动物、劳工、艺术家和诗歌创作。从她的一般性阅读中，她发现了一些引人注目或富有洞察力的引文。她把这些都写进诗里，小心翼翼地用引号括起来，有时还在脚注里注明。对于这种做法，她写道，“‘为什么要用这么多引号?有人问我……当一件事说得再好也说不出来的时候，为什么要改写它呢?因此，我的作品，如果不是一堆化石，也是琥珀中的苍蝇。细致入微的观察和对细节的共识是她诗歌创作的方法。玛丽安·摩尔在密苏里州圣路易斯附近的柯克伍德长大。19...
