Wallace Stevens: Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

For the weekend, a guilty pleasure.

"I do not know which to prefer, | The beauty of inflections | Or the beauty of innuendos, | The blackbird whistling | Or just after."

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, by Wallace Stevens:
V
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
