“I placed a jar in Tennessee
And round it was, upon a hill.”
"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.
Variant: I will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air.
