  • Gold Bug
    Variations


    The personae of summer
        play the characters
    Of an inhuman author,
        who meditates
    With the gold bugs,
        in blue meadows,
        late at night.

    – Wallace Stevens,
    “Credences of Summer,”
    Canto X, Collected Poetry
    and Prose
    , 322-326
