Question
In one poem, Billy Collins described a painter kneeling and whispering to the dying body of one of these creatures. According to Helen Vendler, there existed two versions of a poem about one of these creatures that differed in the punctuation after “cautious.” The narrator of a Charles Bukowski poem describes pouring whiskey and inhaling cigarette smoke to stop one of these creatures from escaping his (*) heart. One of these creatures questions “in all but words, what to make of a diminished thing” in a Robert Frost poem. A poem describes an encounter with one of these creatures that drank dew from a “convenient grass” after it “came down from the walk.” One poem questions why “thin men of Hadden” fail to see one of these creatures which is found “among twenty snowy mountains.” For 10 points, Wallace Stevens described thirteen ways of looking at what type of creature? ■END■
