The house was quiet and the world was calm. 

The reader became the book; and summer night 


Was like the conscious being of the book. 

The house was quiet and the world was calm.

The words were spoken as if there was no book,

Except that the reader leaned above the page, 


Wanted to lean, wanted much to be
The scholar to whom his book is true, to whom 


The summer night is like a perfection of thought.
The house was quiet because it had to be. 


The quiet was part of the meaning, part of the mind:
The access of perfection to the page. 


And the world was calm. The truth in a calm world,
In which there is no other meaning, itself

Is calm, itself is summer and night, itself 

Is the reader leaning late and reading there.

—Wallace Stevens, 1946

Ken, good have you visit. Hope all is well. Forgive me for not remembering, was this your partner?
