Wallace Stevens


American Pulitzer Prize winning poet Wallace Stevens, (1879-1955).


The Idea of Order at Key West


Oh!  Blessed rage for order, pale Ramon,
The maker's rage to order words of the sea,
Words of the fragrant portals, dimly-starred,
And of ourselves and of our origins,
In ghostlier demarcations, keener sounds.
(excerpt)
