Wallace Stevens Quotes

The Plot Against The Giant

First Girl
When This Yokel Comes Maundering,
Whetting His Hacker,
I Shall Run Before Him,
Diffusing The Civilest Odors
Out Of Geraniums And Unsmelled Flowers.
It Will Check Him.

Second Girl
I Shall Run Before Him,
Arching Cloths Besprinkled With Colors
As Small As Fish-eggs.
The Threads
Will Abash Him.

Third Girl
Oh, La...le Pauvre!
I Shall Run Before Him,
With A Curious Puffing.
He Will Bend His Ear Then.
I Shall Whisper
Heavenly Labials In A World Of Gutturals.
It Will Undo Him.
