Wallace Stevens-Went to Harvard and New York Law school...for most of his life he was actually a lawyer. I found this fact interesting because nearly all poets, are in the nicest, lazy! He grew up in Pennsylvania and was a lawyer in Connecticut.
My view of the poem: Our own thoughts and knowledge begin with the slightest touch of our palms. The feathers of a bird, such as on a pencil bring thought to our hands and as we write, they "sing" a song. Our thoughts come alive onto a single piece of paper, just as live is given to a bird when they sing their songs throughout the days. If I look at it more factual, the birds provide us with songs of inspiration and motivation as they sway through the trees gradually and effortless.
Facts about the poem: 4 stanzas and each stanza has three lines or is a tercet. This poem is open for the readers own imagination and opinions.
I don't have too much to say for this poem because i didn't really like it sorry.!
You don't have to like it, you just have to analyze it! :)
