«There are in Harmonium six or eight of the most beautiful poems an American has written. The poems see, feel, and think with equal success.» — Randall Jarrell, Poetry and The Age An executive with a Connecticut-based insurance company, Wallace Stevens (1879–1955) wrote poetry in the evenings and during his daily commute. Harmonium, his first collection of verse, was published when he was 44 years old. Although largely overlooked upon its 1923 debut, the compilation is recognized today as an important contribution to Modernism, offering a diverse range of satirical and philosophical lyrical works that explore the nature of reality and the power of the imagination. They include some of Stevens's most famous and frequently studied works, including «Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," «The Emperor of Ice-Cream," and "Peter Quince at the Clavier."

    INVECTIVE AGAINST SWANS

    The soul, O ganders, flies beyond the parks

    And far beyond the discords of the wind.

    A bronze rain from the sun descending marks

    The death of summer, which that time endures

    Like one who scrawls a listless testament

    Of golden quirks and Paphian caricatures,

    Bequeathing your white feathers to the moon

    And giving your bland motions to the air.

    Behold, already on the long parades

    The crows anoint the statues with their dirt.

    And the soul, O ganders, being lonely, flies

    Beyond your chilly chariots, to the skies.
