My favorite poem... and my 2222nd thumb up on SU.
Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
Wallace Stevens
----------------------
I
Among twenty snowy mountains,
The only moving thing
Was the eye of the blackbird.
II
I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three blackbirds.
III
The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.
It was a small part of the pantomime.
IV
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and a blackbird
Are one.
V
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
VI
Icicles filled the long window
With barbaric glass.
The shadow of the blackbird
Crossed it, to and fro.
The mood
Traced in the shadow
An indecipherable cause.
VII
O thin men of Haddam,
Why do you imagine golden birds?
Do you not see how the blackbird
Walks around the feet
Of the women about you?
VIII
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.
IX
When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.
X
At the sight of blackbirds
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony
Would cry out sharply.
XI
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For blackbirds.
XII
The river is moving.
The blackbird must be flying.
XIII
It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.

George Ivan (Van) Morrison was born on August 31, 1945, and grew up at 125 Hyndford Street in Bloomfield, Belfast, Northern Ireland as the pampered only child of George, a shipyard worker and Violet, a singer. He was exposed to music from an early age, as his father, having spent time working in Detroit, Michigan collected American jazz, country/western, and blues albums. In a taped 1969 interview, his mother said that he was listening to recordings from the age of 2, when he would tug at her apron strings urging her to play more records. (His grandmother) "used to come up and take turns, because he'd have you play them morning, noon and night." There were sing-songs in the house on Saturday nights with family and friends and, although shy, the young Morrison would always sing upon request.
When Morrison finished school at 14, coming from a hard working family, he was expected to get a regular full-time job. After several short apprenticeship positions, he settled into a job as a window cleaner, referenced in the autobiographical songs, "Cleaning Windows" and "Saint Dominic's Preview". Morrison was drinking wine regularly by the age of 15 and had learned to perform an outlandish attention-getting stage act.
Many of the places of Morrison's childhood, such as Cyprus Avenue, Fitzroy, Hyndford Street, Sandy Row and Orangefield (the boys' school he attended), would find their way into the lyrics of some of his most famous songs. His contented and self-absorbed childhood would be an important factor in the nostalgic and searching tone of much of his music throughout his long career.
After the death of his father in April 1988, Van would honour his father's memory with the song "Choppin' Wood", which he often performs in concert.
