A poet imagines nonsense foam from the sea and music falling on silence, suggesting that imagination creates its own reality. Wallace Stevens reflects that the way through the world is harder to find than the way beyond it, and that the city’s life never lets you go. He also paints stars with glittering belts that become a great shadow’s final embellishment.
