"'The Owl in the Sarcophagus,' for all its incantatory
elegiac power, consists almost entirely of
a self-generated and self-generating rhetoric.
It points up one of the limits of poetic composition itself,
the boundary where technique turns into technology."
— Bart Eeckhout in Wallace Stevens and the Limits
of Reading and Writing , University of Missouri Press,
2002, p. 210
