This is the first time I have ever read Wallace Stevens and although I don’t know what to make of this poem yet, I was impressed. I especially enjoyed part V: “I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling Or just after”
Reminds me of the song “Blackbird” I love: “Blackbird, how I love to hear your song. Well, I could spend all my time in the shade of a tree And listen all day long.”(Third Day). Wow. I hope we talk more about Wallace Stevens and this poem tonight.
