I am not really all that familiar with Gertrude Stein’s work, but Marie Curie is one of my heroes.
Gertrude Stein
By Mina Loy
Curie
of the laboratory
of vocabulary
she crushed
the tonnage
of consciousness
congealed to phrases
to extract
a radium of the word
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light.
