It is a unique charm, connotation and charming artistic conception. Every word contains that kind of feeling and sadness, which makes your thoughts turn into clouds and roam in the poetic sky with endless aftertaste.
Appreciate the charm of poetry
I put a round jar on the top of the mountain in Tennessee. The messy wilderness surrounds the mountain peak. The wilderness rises to the jar and crawls everywhere, no longer desolate. The round jar was placed on the ground and stood high in the air. It rules in all directions. This gray, unglazed jar does not produce birds or trees, which is different from other things in Tennessee.
This poem is only twelve short lines, but it gives us a lot of artistic inspiration. The props of this poem are only a jar, a mountain and a wilderness. These ordinary things are difficult to write new ideas under the traditional concept of poetry, but Stevens has the ability to make the impossible possible.
Gently opened a window on the dark wall for us, so that we could see a blue sky. This explains an old problem, that is, it is not what you write, but how you write. Stevens boldly used surrealism to give new order and meaning to some chaotic, confusing and obviously meaningless things in reality.
Stevens didn't look at these things with his eyes, but felt and touched them with his heart. Therefore, in this poem, the concrete things such as jars, mountains and rivers, and wilderness have changed their inherent attributes and become another kind of harmony in a higher sense. His poems are completely different from life, but a kind of fantasy and fiction, a new procedure.
