Wallace Stevens:
(Reading, Pennsylvania, 2 October 1879 – Hartford, Connecticut, 2 August 1955).
American poet and a leading representative of modernism. His Collected Poems won him the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry at the end of his life. Some of his best-known poems include ‘The Idea of Order at Key West’, ‘Anecdote of the Jar’ and ‘Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird’.
The spruces rough in the distant glitter of the January sun, and not to think of any misery in the sound of the wind.
It is deep January. The sky is hard. The stalks are firmly rooted in ice.
