[Wallace Stevens - Final Soliloquy of the Interior Paramour lyrics]

Light the first light of evening
As in a room
In which we rest and, for small reason, think
The world imagined is the ultimate good

This is, therefore, the intensest rendezvous
It is in that thought
That we collect ourselves
Out of all the indifferences, into one thing:

Within a single thing, a single shawl
Wrapped tightly round us, since we
Are poor, a warmth
A light, a power, the miraculous influence

Here, now, we forget each other and ourselves
We feel the obscurity of an order, a whole
A knowledge, that which
Arranged the rendezvous

Within it's vital boundary, in the mind
We say God and the imagination are one
How high that highest candle lights the dark

Out of this same light, out
Of the central mind
We make a dwelling in the evening air
In which being there together is enough
