Marble
Mina Loy
1882 to 1966
Greece has thrown white shadows
sown
their eyeballs with oblivion
A flock of stone
Gods
perched upon pedestals
A populace
of athlete lilies
of the galleries
scoop the facades of space
with spiral curves
of idol substance
in the silence
A colonnade
Apollo haunts Apollo
with the shade
of a lost hand
Mina Loy's Marble
I am busy working to bring Mina Loy's "Marble" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Mina Loy's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Marble" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
