"...the Devil adjusted
your new spiked antennae
almost delicately, with claws curled
and lacquered black, before he spread
his leather wings to leap
into the acid-green sky."
-- Mary Karr All This and More
The reason I picked this passage from All This and More was because I really like the specific descriptions Karr uses...she has strong imagery that really hits me in the gut with how truly evil and frightening this place is.
"I hear the noise of my own voice:
The painter’s vision is not a lens,
it trembles to caress the light."
--Robert Lowell Epilogue
The reason I picked this quote from Epilogue was because I really like the part in italics...it gives a contradicting comparison to what vision is...vision isn't something that offers clarity, but creates a hindrance.
