Thirteen Ways

From "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" by Wallace Stevens.

I.
Among twenty snowy mountains,
The only moving thing
Was the eye of the blackbird.

and

IX.
When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.

The complete poem is here and commentary by Helen Vendler amongst others is here.
