Study of Two Pears

Wallace Stevens

I Opusculum paedagogum. The pears are not viols, nudes or bottles. They resemble nothing else.

II They are yellow forms Composed of curves Bulging toward the base. They are touched red.

III They are not flat surfaces Having curved outlines. They are round tapering toward the top.

IV In the way they are modelled There are bits of blue. A hard dry leaf hangs From the stem.

V The yellow glistens. It glistens with various yellows, Citrons, oranges andn greens Flowering over the skin.

VI The shadows of the pears Are blobs on the green cloth. The pears are not seen As the observer wills.
