“Gubbinal” by Wallace Stevens 🇺🇸 (2 Oct 18792 Aug 1955)
That strange flower, the sun,
Is just what you say.
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.
That tuft of jungle feathers,
That animal eye,
Is just what you say.
That savage of fire,
That seed—
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.
