They were of a remembered time
Or of something seen that he liked.

Were waste and welter
And the ripe shrub writhed.

And his poems, although makings of his self,
Were no less makings of the sun.

Some affluence, if only half-perceived,
In the poverty of their words,
Of the planet of which they were part. — Wallace Stevens
