    On the Green Lands I walk
    And wear a coat in fashion,

    Of hen wives and of queer old men
    Brace me and make me strong....”

    “The afternoon is visibly a source,
    Too wide, too irised, to be more than calm,
    Too much like thinking to be less than thought,
    Obscurest parent, obscurest patriarch,
    A daily majesty of meditation,
    That comes and goes in silences of its own.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
