Elizabeth Bishop died (6/10/1979)

American poet (born 1911).
"Some poems begin as a set of words that you aren't sure what they apply to, but eventually the accumulate and become lines, and then you see some pattern emerge....they start out with a set of words that sound nice and don't make much sense but eventually reveal their purpose....You don't ask a poem what it means, you have to let it tell you."   (from a 1978 interview)
Some language talk in this stanza quoted by Crystal from "Invitation to Miss Marianne Moore", to Bishop's long time friend and mentor:
With dynasties of negative constructions
darkening and dying around you,
with grammar that suddenly turns and shines
like flocks of sandpipers flying,
       please come flying.
