And things are as I think they are
And say they are on the blue guitar.”

Opus Posthumous (1955), Adagia

“Let’s see the very thing and nothing else.
Let’s see it with the hottest fire of sight.

Trace the gold sun about the whitened sky
Without evasion by a single metaphor.
Look at it in its essential barrenness
And say this, this is the centre that I seek.”

A chorister whose c preceded the choir.

Surrounded by its choral rings,
Still far away. It was like
A new knowledge of reality.”
