Looking at a Blackbird

VIII
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.
~from Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

This isn't the first time I've quoted from 13 Ways for a blip, but I never thought one of these would accompany a duck photo. It fits well here though since this mallard duckling turned duck was watching and listening intently to the whistling blackbird just above his head. At the pond at work. :)
