Wallace Stevens - Study of Two Pears lyrics
[Wallace Stevens - Study of Two Pears lyrics]
Opusculum paedagogum
The pears are not viols, nudes or bottles
They resemble nothing else
They are yellow forms composed of curves
Bulging toward the base they are touched red
They are not flat surfaces
Having curved outlines they are round
Tapering toward the top
In the way they are modelled
There are bit's of blue
A hard dry leaf hangs from the stem
The yellow glistens
It glistens with various yellows
Citrons, oranges and greens
Flowering over the skin
The shadows of the pears
Are blobs on the green cloth
The pears are not seen as the observer wills
The pears are not viols, nudes or bottles
They resemble nothing else
They are yellow forms composed of curves
Bulging toward the base they are touched red
They are not flat surfaces
Having curved outlines they are round
Tapering toward the top
In the way they are modelled
There are bit's of blue
A hard dry leaf hangs from the stem
The yellow glistens
It glistens with various yellows
Citrons, oranges and greens
Flowering over the skin
The shadows of the pears
Are blobs on the green cloth
The pears are not seen as the observer wills
