Text heard on Sample:

The man bent over his guitar,
a shearsman of sorts. The day was green.

They said, "You have a blue guitar,
you do not play things as they are."

The man relied, "Things as they are
are changed upon the blue guitar."

And they said then, "But play, you must,
a tune beyond us, yet ourselves,

A tune upon the blue guitar
of things exactly as they are."

                  Wallace Stevens
