into this dump-faced day.”

With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags
Plying her needle and thread
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,”

“Our sense of these things changes and they change,
Not as in metaphor, but in our sense
Of them. So sense exceeds all metaphor.
It exceeds the heavy changes of the light.
It is like a flow of meanings with no speech
And of as many meanings as of men.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
