THE PLACE OF THE SOLITAIRES, by WALLACE STEVENS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Let the place of the solitaires
First Line: Let the place of the solitaires
Let the place of the solitaires
Let the place of the solitaires
Be a place of perpetual undulation.
Be a place of perpetual undulation.
Whether it be in mid-sea
Whether it be in mid-sea
On the dark, green water-wheel,
On the dark, green water-wheel,
Or on the beaches,
Or on the beaches,
There must be no cessation
There must be no cessation
Of motion, or of the noise of motion,
Of motion, or of the noise of motion,
The renewal of noise
The renewal of noise
And manifold continuation;
And manifold continuation;
And, most, of the motion of thought
And, most, of the motion of thought
And its restless iteration,
And its restless iteration,
In the place of the solitaires,
In the place of the solitaires,
Which is to be a place of perpetual undulation.
Which is to be a place of perpetual undulation.
