Stevens, Wallace: The Woman in Sunshine
The Woman in Sunshine (English)It is only that this warmth and movement are like The warmth and movement of a woman.
It is not that there is any image in the air Nor the beginning nor end of a form:
It is empty. But a woman in threadless gold Burns us with brushings of her dress
And a dissociated abundance of being, More definite for what she is—
Because she is disembodied, Bearing the odors of the summer fields,
Confessing the taciturn and yet indifferent, Invisibly clear, the only love.
