[Wallace Stevens - Metaphors of a Magnifico lyrics]
Twenty men crossing a bridge
Into a village
Are twenty men crossing twenty bridges
Into twenty villages, or one man
Crossing a single bridge into a village
This is old song
That will not declare it'self
Twenty men crossing a bridge
Into a village, are
Twenty men crossing a bridge into a village
That will not declare it'self
Yet is certain as meaning
The boots of the men clump
On the boards of the bridge
The first white wall of the villagе
Rises through fruit-trees
Of what was it I was thinking?
So the meaning еscapes
The first white wall of the village
The fruit-trees
Into a village
Are twenty men crossing twenty bridges
Into twenty villages, or one man
Crossing a single bridge into a village
This is old song
That will not declare it'self
Twenty men crossing a bridge
Into a village, are
Twenty men crossing a bridge into a village
That will not declare it'self
Yet is certain as meaning
The boots of the men clump
On the boards of the bridge
The first white wall of the villagе
Rises through fruit-trees
Of what was it I was thinking?
So the meaning еscapes
The first white wall of the village
The fruit-trees
