“Of the Surface of Things” by Wallace Stevens [w/ Audio]

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.
