OK, I'm stumped. 2 left and I know the answers but would be grateful if someone could please explain the word play.

7d) First to attack, be quick (5)

A _ I _ E

It looks like agile but can't work out the cryptic definition.

14d) Dynamo, artistic type almost encapsulating poetical inspiration (9)

G _ N _ R _ T _ R

It's obviously generator but agin, can someone help with the word play?

Thanks in advance

er, thanks wallacia......but I knew the answer.....I was asking for some help with the cryptic part of the clue....you know, for peace of mind :)
14d - poetical inspiration is erato. artistic type is genre minus the last letter.
7d - alive. A(attack) + live(be)
Question Author
Thanks baitress.....that clears it up!
7d alive .... A(ttack) + live (be) . Alive means quick as in 'the quick and the dead'

14a genr(e) = artistic type .... almost (without the e) round (encapsulating) Erato (muse of lyric love poetry)
apologise chris,did not look at the second part of your question,doh!
