From Wallace Stevens, "The Man with the Blue Guitar":

IX

And the color, the overcast blue
Of the air, in which the blue guitar
Is a form, described but difficult,
And I am merely a shadow hunched
Above the arrowy, still strings,
The maker of a thing yet to be made . . . .

From 'The Politics of Experience,' by R.D. Laing

A less metaphysical approach to a "pre-form" —

From Wallace Stevens, "The Man with the Blue Guitar":

IX

And the color, the overcast blue
Of the air, in which the blue guitar
Is a form, described but difficult,
And I am merely a shadow hunched
Above the arrowy, still strings,
The maker of a thing yet to be made . . . .
