Vollendam Haven @ twilight
Ramon Fernandez, tell me, if you know,
Why, when the singing ended and we turned
Toward the town, tell why the glassy lights,
The lights in the fishing boats at anchor there,
As the night descended, tilting in the air,
Mastered the night and portioned out the sea...
From: The Idea of Order at Key West, 1934
Wallace Stevens (1879.1955)
