13 ways of looking at a blackbird by Wallace stevens. Read by Robbie florian, one Among 20 Snowy Mountains. The only moving thing was the eye of the Blackbird two. I was of three minds like a tree In which there are three blackbirds. Three. The Blackbird World in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime. Four. A man and a woman are one. A man and a woman in a black Bird. R one five. I do not know which you prefer. The beauty of inflections or the beauty of innuendos. The blackbird whistling or just after six. Icicles filled the long window with barbaric glass. The shadow of the blackbird crossed it to and fro. The mood traced in the shadow, an indecipherable cause seven. Both in men. If adam, why do you imagine Golden birds? Do you not see how the blackbird walks around the feet? For the women. About you? Eight. I know noble accents and lucid, inescapable rhythms, but I know too, that the blackbird is involved in what I know. Nine. And the blackbird flew out of sight and marked the edge of one of many circles. 10 the site of black birds flying in a green light, even the bodies of you. Tiffany would cry out sharply. 11, he wrote over Connecticut in a glass coach. Once a fear pierced him and that he mistook the shadow of his equipment for black birds. 12. The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying 13. It was evening all afternoon it was snowing and it was going to snow. The blackbirds sat in the cedar limbs.
