The Abstracting Which

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 2:00 am

"His is a language that is highly charged with
a harmonic resonance and a certain distancing
and abstracting which makes the reference
more universal, less specifically personal."

— Durham University, 1999 Ph.D. thesis

As verse . . .

A harmonic resonance 
And a certain distancing 
And abstracting which

Fresh Culls

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 10:28 am

"It is not enough to cover the rock with leaves.
We must be cured of it by a cure of the ground
Or a cure of ourselves, that is equal to a cure

Of the ground, a cure beyond forgetfulness.
And yet the leaves, if they broke into bud,
If they broke into bloom, if they bore fruit,

And if we ate the incipient colorings
Of their fresh culls might be a cure of the ground."

— "The Rock," a poem by Wallace Stevens from
a section with the same title in the Collected Poems .
