From "The Man With the Blue Guitar" - Wallace Stevens
II
I cannot bring a world quite round, Although I patch it as I can.
I sing a hero's head, large eye And bearded bronze, but not a man,
Although I patch him as I can And reach through him almost to man.
If to serenade almost to man Is to miss, by that, things as they are,
Say that it is the serenade Of a man that plays a blue guitar.
