Two Figures In Dense Violet Light Comments

Thank you, Gary, for telling them the errors. I was just about to do that.

This is one of Stevens’ most accessible poems. However, I’m afraid this version is riddled with typographical errors. Here are those of which I am aware: porter at the hotel (not “portier of” the hotel) Be the voice of night (not “the” night) Use dusky words (not dasky words) sea-sounds (plural, not sea-sound) And out of their droning (not “the” droning) Capitalize “And” in the fourteenth line Below Key West (not “Beyond” Key West) “clear in a total blue, ” (not clear in “the” total blue, and change the period to a comma)
