Update: Have you been watching the Jeopardy! teen tournament? I mean...wow, these kids are nuts. If you've missed it so far, here is your heads up. For the next week and a half, tune in and enjoy. You can thank me later. (Surprise Valentine's Day candygrams are always welcome, just fyi.)

Some Wallace Stevens in honor of Dia de Nieva Numero Dos:

Final Soliloquy of the Interior Paramour

Light the first light of evening, as in a room
In which we rest and, for small reason, think
The world imagined is the ultimate good.

This is, therefore, the intensest rendezvous.
It is in that thought that we collect ourselves,
Out of all the indifferences, into one thing:

Within a single thing, a single shawl
Wrapped tightly round us, since we are poor, a warmth,
A light, a power, the miraculous influence.

Here, now, we forget each other and ourselves.
We feel the obscurity of an order, a whole,
A knowledge, that which arranged the rendezvous.

Within its vital boundary, in the mind.
We say God and the imagination are one...
How high that highest candle lights the dark.

Out of this same light, out of the central mind,
We make a dwelling in the evening air,
In which being there together is enough.
