The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens by Wallace Stevens
The lilacs wither in the Carolinas.
Already the butterflies flutter above the cabins.
Already the new-born children interpret love
In the voices of mothers.

Timeless mothers,
How is it that your aspic *******
For once vent honey?

The pine-tree sweetens my body
The white iris beautifies me.
