Moore was a revolutionary poet, working in the grey space between 'free' and 'rhymed' verse, and a significant poet of the 'new verse' movement of the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e. . . . . . . . .\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-: TO A SNAIL: -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf \"compression is the first grace of style,\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyou have it.
