Anecdote of the Jar

I placed a jar in Tennessee,

And round it was, upon a hill.

It made the slovenly wilderness

Surround that hill





The wilderness rose up to it,

And sprawled around, no longer wild.

The jar was round upon the ground

And tall and of a port in air





It took dominion every where.

The jar was gray and bare.

It did not give of bird or bush,

Like nothing else in Tennessee



By Wallace Stevens
