BOWL, by WALLACE STEVENS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: For what emperor
Subject(s): Bowls
First Line: For what emperor
Subject(s): Bowls
For what emperor
Was this bowl of Earth designed?
Here are more things
Than on any bowl of the Sungs,
Even the rarest -
Vines that take
The various obscurities of the moon.
Approaching rain
And leaves that would be loose upon the wind.
Pears on pointed trees.
The dresses of women.
Oxen . ...
I never tire
To think of this.
