Edward Doro

Edward Doro (February 3, 1909 – 1987) was an American poet. Quotes    I was eleven, hardly more,   When first I saw a crystal boar,Stretched on the ground in self-admiring fettle,With purple eyes and snout of golden metal—Polished by digging roots—and bones of coral.Looking, I deemed he was a thing immoral,   Something a boy should never see.   I turned and ran, precipitously. "The Boar and Shibboleth", st. 1. Published in The Saturday Review of Literature, vol. 7, no. 29 (February 7, 1931), p. 583. Collected in The Boar & Shibboleth, with Other Poems (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1933) I was thrown for ever in a riotOf gold and purple thoughts. I wait in quiet.   Sometimes I say beneath my breath    The lovely name of Shibboleth.
