Lingering Beauty


I do not know which to prefer,

the beauty of inflections

or the beauty of innuendos,

the blackbird whistling

or just after.


from Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
Wallace Stevens

    Wallace Stevens!

    He's one of my very favorite poets. Thanks for sharing this - reading it now, it has become very Zen-like.
