Living Entity

    this ant-and stone-swallowing uninjurable
    artichoke which simpletons thought a living fable
    whom the stones had nourished, whereas ants had done
    so.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    What is this world of ours? A complex entity subject to sudden changes which all indicate a tendency to destruction; a swift succession of beings which follow one another, assert themselves and disappear; a fleeting symmetry; a momentary order.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
