Grandmother’s brevity

Her diary note ,of the eighteen century or thereabouts,says

“Finished Antigone,married Bishop”

Anne Carson says brevity is poetry.Prose is like house while poetry is like  a man on fire running fast through the house.

Grandmothers diary note is pretty.Brevity is the wit of her soul.

After finishing Antigone she married Bishop? Has Antigone finally buried her brother? Poor Bishop had to wait .

She has set us on fire so we pass through it .
