- Anatomy_of_Monotony abstract ""Anatomy of Monotony" is a poem from the second, 1931, editionof Wallace Stevens's first book of poetry,Harmonium. Unlike most ofthe poems in this collection, it was first published in 1931, so it isrestricted by copyright until 2025 in America and similarjurisdictions, because of legislation like theSonny Bono Copyright TermExtension Act. However, it is quoted here in full, as justified byfair use for the purpose of scholarly commentary.The poet conceives us as evolving and increasingly civilized products of anearthly process. Indeed the earth itself is growing and growing old,while we sport our complex bodies and venture ever more sophisticateddesires. Human experience is a kind of illusion engendered by ourevolved sense organs, vulnerable to "the mother's death" and the colddeath of the universe. The spirit sees this and is aggrieved, for itwould harbor experience in some place that transcends nature, free fromthe contingencies of earth and universe.The poem can be read as ironic, as calling into question the pretensionof `the spirit'. This reading is supported by the naturalistic tenorof the Harmonium collection as a whole, and specifically by theparallel of Invective Against Swans. Thedesire for transcendence of nature is one of those "finer, moreimplacable chords" that the poet disavows, as also in Sunday Morning.".

- Anatomy_of_Monotony quote "If from the earth we came, it was an earth That bore us as a part of all things It breeds and that was lewder than it is. Our nature is her nature. Hence it comes, Since by our nature we grow old, earth grows The same. We parallel the mother's death. She walks an autumn ampler than the wind Cries up for us and colder than the frost Pricks in our spirits at the summer's end, And over the bare spaces of our skies She sees a barer sky that does not bend. The body walks forth naked in the sun And, out of tenderness or grief, the sun Gives comfort, so that other bodies come, Twinning our phantasy and our device, And apt in versatile motion, touch and sound To make the body covetous in desire Of the still finer, more implacable chords. So be it. Yet the spaciousness and light In which the body walks and is deceived, Falls from that fatal and barer sky, And this the spirit sees and is aggrieved.".
