The poem then ends, leaving Marianne's question unanswered, even though we all know that the cup-bearer indeed, was a woman. ]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982597 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982598 This line is introducing the topic of the poem. Marianne wants to start off by asking the question, 'a lady or a tiger lily?' She's directing this poem towards her cupbearer, so the servant must be a woman. She's asking if the cupbearer is a lady or a tiger lily. Marianne says this, because she's comparing the two, by the dainty, beautiful characteristics that they both have. ]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982598 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982599 She continues to speak of the vestment in this line, by describing the silver stitching that was embroidered on the robe. ]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982599 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982601 "Incanting" means to chant or intone, so when Marianne says that the lady is incanting like witch, she means that the lady can talk so solemnly like how a witch would be when speaking. ]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982601 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982602 A lady or a tiger-lily,
Can you tell me which,
I see her when I wake at night,
Incanting, like a witch.
Her eye is dark, her vestment rich, 
Embroidered with a silver stitch,
A lady or a tiger-lily,
Slave, come tell me which?
-Marianne Moore '09.]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982602 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982603 "Her eye is dark," gives us an idea of how the cup-bearer's eyes were. Maybe they could've been a dark brown or black, but all Marianne told us was that they were dark. A vestment is a robe that was worn by the clergy, so Marianne was describing how the color of the robe had a rich color to it. ]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982603 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982604 The repetition of this line was to repeat the main idea of this poem. It's to ask the reader once again, if she's a lady or tiger-lily, even after hearing all of these descriptions of her. ]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982604 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982605 In this line, she continues to speak of the cupbearer. She says that she sees her when she wakes up during the night, so you can tell that Marianna is constantly thinking of her.  ]]> 2017-11-14 21:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982605 arodriguez204837 https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/206982606 Moore then continues to ask if someone can tell her which is which.

The title resembles how Marianne was directing this poem towards one of her servants in her household. ]]> 2017-11-28 21:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/arodriguez204837/cnaiuuxal0gv/wish/211182816
