Wallace Stevens - Anecdote of the Jar lyrics
[Wallace Stevens - Anecdote of the Jar lyrics]
I placed a jar in Tennessee
And round it was, upon a hill
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill
The wilderness rose up to it
And sprawled around, no longer wild
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air
It took dominion every where
The jar was gray and bare
It did not give of bird or bush
Like nothing else in Tennessee
And round it was, upon a hill
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill
The wilderness rose up to it
And sprawled around, no longer wild
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air
It took dominion every where
The jar was gray and bare
It did not give of bird or bush
Like nothing else in Tennessee
