...Why are you so insistent on the sweeping
Poetry of sky and sea? Are you, then, fonder
Of the circumference of earth's impounding
Than of some sphere on which the mind might blunder,
If you, with irrepressible will, abounding
In.. wish for revelation,
Sought out the unknown new in your surrounding?
- Wallace Stevens, from "For an Old Woman in a Wig"
