Although you sit in a room that is gray, ... What is all this? I know how furiously your heart is beating.

[aboutbirds]

Although you sit in a room that is gray, Except for the silver Of the straw-paper, And pick At your pale white gown; Or lift one of the green beads Of your necklace, To let it fall; Or gaze at your green fan Printed with the red branches of a red willow; Or, with one finger, Move the leaf in the bowl— The leaf that has fallen from the branches of the forsythia Beside you . . . What is all this? I know how furiously your heart is beating.

Wallace Stevens, "Gray Room," from Collected Poetry and Prose

Have I still got you to be my open door? Have I still got you to be my sandy shore? Have I still got you to cross my bridge in this storm? Have I still got you to keep me warm?

“GRAY ROOM”

Although you sit in a room that is gray,  Except for the silver  Of the straw-paper,  And pick  At your pale white gown;  Or lift one of the green beads  Of your necklace,  To let it fall;  Or gaze at your green fan  Printed with the red branches of a red willow;  Or, with one finger,  Move the leaf in the bowl— The leaf that has fallen from the branches of the forsythia  Beside you...  What is all this?  I know how furiously your heart is beating. -Wallace Stevens
