Wallace Stevens - The Apostrophe to Vincentine lyrics

[Wallace Stevens - The Apostrophe to Vincentine lyrics]

I figured you as nude between
Monotonous earth and dark blue sky
It made you seem so small and lean
And nameless, heavenly vincentine

I saw you then, as warm as flesh, brunette
But yet not too brunette, as warm, as clean
Your dress was green, was whited green
Green vincentine

Then you came walking, in a group
Of human others, voluble
Yes: you came walking, vincentine
Yes: you came talking

And what I knew you felt came then
Monotonous earth I saw become
Illimitable sphere of you
And that white animal, so lean
Turned vincentine
And that white animal, so lean
Turned heavenly, heavenly Vincentine
