Idea of Order at Key West

This is my favorite poem. It was written in 1934 by Wallace Stevens. I read it again this morning and decided I needed to post it. The way the words flow is enough to draw me back again and again, but I also love the message of human strength and potency. It lifts me up when I feel small and powerless.
