“I placed a jar in Tennessee
And round it was, upon a hill.”
Wallace Stevens (1879–1955) American poet
"Anecdote of the Jar"
Context: I placed a jar in Tennessee
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose upon it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) American politician, 28th president of the United States (in office from 1913 to 1921)
Reported as a misattribution in Paul F. Boller, Jr., and John George, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, & Misleading Attributions (1989), p. 131-32; Boller and George note that Wilson was so fond of quoting this limerick that others thought he had written it. In fact, it was written by a minor poet named Anthony Euwer, and conveyed to Wilson by his daughter Eleanor.
