- Le_Monocle_de_Mon_Oncle abstract "\"Le Monocle de Mon Oncle\" is a poem from Wallace Stevens's first book of poetry,Harmonium. It was first published in 1918.Quoted here is the eighth canto. (The whole poemcan be found elsewhere.[1]) Canto I includes the line \"I wish that I mightbe a thinking stone.\" Harold Bloom regaled his students with anoff-beat interpretation of Canto II's line, \"Shall I uncrumple thismuch-crumpled thing?\", as alluding to an inactive sexual relationship to Elsie (\"you\", the Other).Canto IV includes the verse, Canto XI includes the verse, And in canto XII the poem concludes with the verse,Holly Stevens quotes a letter of her father in which he writes, \"I hadin mind simply a man fairly well along in life, looking back andtalking in a more or less personal way about life.\" This is widely regarded as reticence about the poem'scommentary on his domestic life, or, as Helen Vendler phrases it, thepoem is \"about Stevens' failed marriage\",\"about [his] middle age and romantic disillusion\". She defends herself against the accusation of biographicalreduction, which elsewhere she directs against Joan Richardson's psychobiography of Stevens,[2][3] as follows. It has been objected that a criticismsuggesting that poems spring from life is reductive, that is to saythat \"Le Monocle de Mon Oncle\" is about Stevens' failed marriage issomehow injurious to the poem. It seems to me normal to begin with thelife-occasion as we deduce it from the poem; it is only an error whenone ends there. To tether Stevens' poems to human feeling is at leastto remove him from the \"world of ghosts\" where he is so often located,and to insist that he is a poet of more than epistemological questionsalone. Vendler and Richardson disagree about how to understand Stevens' distinction between the \"true subject\" of a poem and \"the poetry of the subject\". For Richardson it corresponds to the difference between the infantile kernel of a Stevens poem and the surface of his words' appearance. For Vendler the true subject is an experience and the poetry of the subject is a rendering of it. Richardson is led from her conception of the subject -- \"the fears and uncertainties of the boy who still crouched inside him\"—to diagnose the surface of the poem as reflecting \"the American dissociation of sensibility that began with the first Puritans giving the rhetorical lie to the truth of their experience.\" Vendler thinks this is even worse than simply \"ending there\" in biography, for it leads away from the poetry of the subject, which in her view requires understanding the special role of syntax that allows Stevens to achieve his poetic effects. (\"Stevens's words are almost always deflected from their common denotation, and his syntax serves to delay and to disarticulate....What an image was to Pound, a syllable was to Stevens.\")[4]See also \"Two Figures in Dense Violet Night\".".

This trivial trope reveals a way of truth. Our bloom is gone. We are the fruits thereof. Two golden gourds distended on our vines, Into the autumn weather, splashed with frost, Distorted by hale fatness, turned grotesque. We hang like warty squashes, streaked and rayed, The laughing sky will see the two of us Washed into rinds by rotting winter rains.".
