The possibility of free declamation anchored (John Ashbery, "Street Musicians," Selected Poetry, page 207) And lucid, inescapable rhythms, (Wallace Stevens, "13 ways of looking at a blackbird") do have meaning. They're strong as rocks. (Frank O’Hara, "Today") In the deep-toned Aeolian mode (Lasus of Hermione ) For the listener, who listens in the snow, (Wallace Stevens, "The Snow Man") A Poet could not but be gay, (Wordsworth, "The Daffodils") The Impotence to Tell – (Emily Dickinson, poem 407.) still makes a poem a surprise!
