NEW: A Vision of a Wrangler, of a University, of Pedantry, and of Philosophy by James Clerk Maxwell

The conclusion of An Ordinary Evening in New Haven by Wallace Stevens:

The less legible meanings of sounds, the little reds
Not often realized, the lighter words
In the heavy drum of speech, the inner men
 
Behind the outer shields, the sheets of music
In the strokes of thunder, dead candles at the window
When day comes, fire-foams in the motions of the sea,
 
Flickings from finikin to fine finikin
And the general fidget from busts of Constantine
To photographs of the late president, Mr. Blank,
 
These are the edgings and inchings of final form,
The swarming activities of the formulae
Of statement, directly and indirectly getting at,
 
Like an evening evoking the spectrum of violet,
A philosopher practicing scales on his piano,
A woman writing a note and tearing it up.
 
It is not in the premise that reality
Is a solid. It may be a shade that traverses
A dust, a force that traverses a shade.
