As he sat there reading, aloud, the great blue tabulae.
They were those from the wilderness of stars that had expected more.

Of the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them.
They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
