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.
