“I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.“

Remembering Wallace Stevens on his birthday.

“The difficulty to think at the end of day,
When the shapeless shadow covers the sun
And nothing is left except light on your fur—

There was the cat slopping its milk all day,
Fat cat, red tongue, green mind, white milk
And August the most peaceful month...”

jewright I took a grad class on Wallace Stevens. He‘s very interesting! 5y
Lcsmcat @jewright Cool! I like what I know of his work, but I don‘t know much. 5y
jewright @Lcsmcat Honestly a class was almost too much. He makes my head hurt. 5y

"One must have a mind of winter/To regard the frost and the boughs /Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;/And have been cold a long time /To behold the junipers shagged with ice, /The spruces rough in the distant glitter/Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind..." #snowflake #QuotsyDec18

I have read and heard Wallace Stevens mentioned 6 times in the last 24 hours in a variety of formats: reviews in newspapers, on Litsy, in novels, on TV. What the heck???

minkyb No help here! 8y

Joybishoptx Oh I love Wallace Stevens. Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird is one of my all time favorites. 8y
kspenmoll No clue, not his birthday - there was bio published last spring, documentary, but not sure why now. If ever in Hartford CT there is a walk based on his poem. @Joybishoptx http://www.courant.com/entertainment/arts-theater/hc-wallace-stevens-book-the-wh... 8y
Joybishoptx @kspenmoll oh wow! I'll have to check that out 8y

It's #NationalPoetryDay Littens! Who's your favorite poet? What's your favorite poem?

KVanRead Wow. That blew my socks off! Love me some Wallace Stevens. My fave poet is Walt Whitman but the list of runners up is long, long, long. 8y
utterKATEness @KVanRead Whitman is fantastic! He's in my top five for sure. 8y
