from The Man with the Blue Guitar
A poem like a missal found
In the mud, a missal for that young man,
That scholar hungriest for that book,
The very book, or, less, a page
Or, at the least, a phrase, that phrase,
A hawk of life, that latined phrase:
To know; a missal for brooding-sight.
To meet that hawk's eye and to flinch
Not at the eye but at the joy of it.
I play. But this is what I think.
– Wallace Stevens (1937)
