Wallace Stevens

When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird -  Wallace Stevens

The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end. It is the highest emblem in the cipher of the world. St. Augustine described the nature of God as a circle whose center was everywhere and its circumference nowhere. __ excerpt from "Circles" Ralph Waldo Emerson
