Picasso: "Old man playing guitar" (detail)
Wallace Stevens: "Blue Guitar":
II
“I cannot bring a world quite round,
Although I patch it as I can.
I sing a hero's head, large eye
And bearded bronze, but not a man,
Although I patch him as I can
And reach through him almost to man.
If to serenade almost to man
Is to miss, by that, things as they are,
Say it is the serenade
Of a man that plays a blue guitar.”
In 1935 vond er een vechtpartij plaats tussen Stevens en Hemingway.
