    Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
    To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
    One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
    At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
    The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Yet I am the necessary angel of earth,
    Since, in my sight, you see the earth again,

    And, in my hearing, you hear its tragic drone
    Rise liquidly in liquid lingerings....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
