“Of the Surface of Things” by Wallace Stevens 🇺🇸 (2 Oct 18792 Aug 1955)
In my room, the world is beyond my understanding;
But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four hills
and a cloud.
From my balcony, I survey the yellow air,
Reading where I have written,
“The spring is like a belle undressing.”
The gold tree is blue.
The singer has pulled his cloak over his head.
The moon is in the folds of the cloak.
