| NUMBER: | 57149 |
| QUOTATION: | By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering On a clean bed of pebbly clay, Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan, Burning and sweating venomously, Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan, Clamorous with foul ecstasy. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | Allen Tate (1899–1979), U.S. poet, critic. “A Carrion.” |
