Black bird

The only moving thing
Was the eye of the blackbird.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

Audubon

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.

II

I was of three minds,

Like a tree

In which there are three blackbirds.

III

The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.

It was a small part of the pantomime.

IV

A man and a woman

Are one.

A man and a woman and a blackbird

Are one.

V

I do not know which to prefer,

The beauty of inflections

Or the beauty of innuendoes,

The blackbird whistling

Or just after.

VI

Icicles filled the long window

With barbaric glass.

The shadow of the blackbird

Crossed it, to and fro.

The mood

Traced in the shadow

An indecipherable cause.

VII

O thin men of Haddam,

Why do you imagine golden birds?

Do you not see how the blackbird

Walks around the feet

Of the women about you?

VIII

I know noble accents

And lucid, inescapable rhythms;

But I know, too,

That the blackbird is involved

In what I know.

IX

When the blackbird flew out of sight,

It marked the edge

Of one of many circles.

X

At the sight of blackbirds

Flying in a green light,

Even the bawds of euphony

Would cry out sharply.

XI

He rode over Connecticut

In a glass coach.

Once, a fear pierced him,

In that he mistook

The shadow of his equipage

For blackbirds.

XII

The river is moving.

The blackbird must be flying.

XIII

It was evening all afternoon.

It was snowing

And it was going to snow.

The blackbird sat

In the cedar-limbs.

"There's a lake"

There's a lake where you can hire a boat,
And two or more can go afloat,
And meander, with the water calm,
With oars a dipping, what sheer balm.

At the end of the lake, the ducks you'll meet,
And geese and swans, with their webbed feet,
All gather hoping to be fed,
With slivers of cake and slices of bread.

Magnus von Wright (1805 - 1868)

"Ducks."

"Pair of Wigeons and a Male Teal."

Wood grouses at the gorge

Deixei de perceber a migração das cegonhas

Há bocadinho, à vinda para Setúbal, reparei que os condomínios de ninhos de cegonhas estão todos vazios. As cegonhas foram-se embora em Julho. Isso sempre aconteceu. Até havia o dito popular, "No S. João, cegonhas no chão' - pouco depois partiam e só regressavam no ano a seguir. No ano passado regressaram no fim de Setembro. Estou com curiosidade em ver se este ano também regressam no Outono. Deixei de perceber a migração das cegonhas. Aconteceu alguma coisa para elas mudarem de hábitos?
