Study of Two Pears

STUDY OF TWO PEARS

1
Opusculum paedagogum.
The pears are not viols,
Nudes or bottles.
They resemble nothing else.

2
They are yellow forms
Composed of curves
Bulging toward the base.
They are touched red.

3
They are not flat surfaces
Having curved outlines.
They are round
Tapering toward the top.

4
In the way they are modelled
There are bits of blue
A hard dry leaf hangs
From the stem.

5
The yellow glistens.
It glistens with various yellows,
Citrons, oranges and greens
Flowering over the skin.

6
The shadow of the pears
Are blobs on the green cloth.
The pears are not seen
As the observer wills.

--------- Wallace Stevens -----

So, Mr. Stevens thinks it is impossible to adequately describe two pears. And he was just writing about the visual description. I can identify with this poem. How to describe a taste, a flavor.
A Study of Two Bosc Pears
1. juicy and sweet
2. aromatic, slightly grainy flesh that melts in the mouth when ripe.
3. soft and dense wetness with a sugary buttery flavor
4. not crisp like an apple. more delicate flavor.
5. slight spiciness
6. Like lying on soft grasses next to a lively creek watching a bumble bee visit meadow clovers.
