Wallace Stevens - Nuances of a Theme by Williams lyrics
[Wallace Stevens - Nuances of a Theme by Williams lyrics]
It’s a strange courage
You give me, ancient star:
Shine alone in the sunrise
Toward which you lend no part!
Shine alone, shine nakedly, shine
Like bronze
That reflects neither my face nor
Any inner part of my being, shine like fire
That mirrors nothing
Lend no part to any humanity that suffuses
You in it's own light
Be not chimera of morning
Half man, half-star be not an intelligence
Like a widow’s bird or an old horse
You give me, ancient star:
Shine alone in the sunrise
Toward which you lend no part!
Shine alone, shine nakedly, shine
Like bronze
That reflects neither my face nor
Any inner part of my being, shine like fire
That mirrors nothing
Lend no part to any humanity that suffuses
You in it's own light
Be not chimera of morning
Half man, half-star be not an intelligence
Like a widow’s bird or an old horse
