“The Woman In Sunshine” by Wallace Stevens 🇺🇸 (2 Oct 1879 – 2 Aug 1955)
It is only that this warmth and movement are like
The warmth and movement of a woman.
​
It is not that there is any image in the air
Nor the beginning nor end of a form:
​
It is empty. But a woman in threadless gold
Burns us with brushings of her dress
​
And a dissociated abundance of being,
More definite for what she is—
​
Because she is disembodied,
Bearing the odors of the summer fields,
​
Confessing the taciturn and yet indifferent,
Invisibly clear, the only love.
