the dog who dropped substance for shadow

 Marianne Moore said


Everyone is self-deceived:

Of all the fooled, agog to catch a phantom,

The number if you knew it would never be believed;

It is a permanent conundrum.

-------------------------------------------------

agog means very curious to hear or see something!

There's a second part too about a dog seeing its reflection in the water and dropping the bone in its mouth for the bone it sees in the water but I like this opening part the best.
