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 everywhere. The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush, Like nothing else in Tennessee. ;His works;William Carlos Williams (1883-1963);Life ;His poetic features;The Red Wheelbarrow;His works
