OF THE SURFACE OF THINGS, by WALLACE STEVENS Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In my room, the world is beyond my understanding Last Line: The singer has pulled his cloak over his head / the moon is in the folds of the cloak | |||
I In my room, the world is beyond my understanding; But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four hills and a cloud. II From my balcony, I survey the yellow air, Reading where I have written, The spring is like a belle undressing. III The gold tree is blue. The singer has pulled his cloak over his head. The moon is in the folds of the cloak. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A ROOM ON A GARDEN by WALLACE STEVENS BALLADE OF THE PINK PARASOL by WALLACE STEVENS EXPOSITION OF THE CONTENTS OF A CAB by WALLACE STEVENS LETTRES D'UN SOLDAT (1914-1915) by WALLACE STEVENS O FLORIDA, VENEREAL SOIL by WALLACE STEVENS |
