all in one line ? sounds weird ... I fail to find the "fictitous center" - anyway, this is as close as I get : . Anecdote of the Jar Wallace Stevens(posted 8837 days ago)---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
I placed a jar in Tennessee, And round it was, upon a hill. It made the slovenly wilderness Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose up to it, And sprawled around, no longer wild. The jar was round upon the ground And tall and of a port in air.
It took dominion every where. The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush, Like nothing else in Tennessee.
