Wallace Stevens - Anecdote of the JarWallace Stevens - Anecdote of the Jar
Work rating: Low


    I placed a jar in Tennessee,     And round it was, upon a hill.     It made the slovenly wilderness     Surround that hill.         The wilderness rose up to it,     And sprawled around, no longer wild.     The jar was round upon the ground     And tall and of a port in air.         It took dominion everywhere.     The jar was gray and bare.     It did not give of bird or bush,     Like nothing else in Tennessee.
