Still the sea, Consolingly disastrous, will return While the strange starfish, hugely magnified, Waits in the jewelled basin of a pool. |

Well done, Sun-star! U may continue.
Critically regarded as one of the most significant American poets of the 20th century. He largely ignored the literary world and he did not receive widespread recognition until the publication of his ******** (1954). He explored inside a profound philosophical framework the dualism between concrete reality and the human imagination. = Wallace Stevens 920 – Trio see dawn = Three Travellers Watch a Sunrise 921 – No strife = Harmonium 922 – Policies = Ideas of Order 923 – Lands = Parts of the World 924 – Grouped verse = Collected Poem 925 – Journey to the warm period = Transport To Summer Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 04-09-2007 at 11:53 AM. |
