We've discussed Frye's first essay / lecture, "The Motive for Metaphor", in class. Give a poetic example of how, "the motive for metaphor, according to Wallace Stevens, is a desire to associate, and finally to identify, the human mind with what goes on outside of it."

  • Include your poem in your response.
  • Try to place your poem after your introduction.
  • Explain your choice.
  • Cite your poem, either a URL or a MLA listing.
