by Wallace Stevens

    Twenty men crossing a bridge,

    Into a village,

    Are twenty men crossing twenty bridges,

    Into twenty villages,

    Or one man

    Crossing a single bridge into a village.

    This is old song

    That will not declare itself . . .

    Twenty men crossing a bridge,

    Into a village,

    Are

    Twenty men crossing a bridge

    Into a village.

    That will not declare itself

    Yet is certain as meaning . . .

    The boots of the men clump1

    On the boards of the bridge.

    The first white wall of the village

    Rises through fruit-trees.

    Of what was it I was thinking?

    So the meaning escapes.

    The first white wall of the village . . .

    The fruit-trees . . .
