The lion roars at the enraging desert,      Reddens the sand with his red-colored noise,      Defies red emptiness to evolve his match,      Master by foot and jaws and by the mane,      Most supple challenger….                     ——Wallace Stevens,                     from “Notes to a Supreme Fiction”
