The complimenting video of Disillusionment of Ten o’Clock by
Wallace Stevens provided an appropriate vibe. The message of this poem is
conveyed in a respective manner, the ordinary people in white nightgown are
described bleakly all the same while the drunken old sailor is portrayed in a
colorful light. The choice of the color yellow on the sailor, even though its
not mention in the poem, is successful in contrast to the boring people. The repetitive
structure of lines four through six emphasizes the townspeople, the multitude
of them and lack of difference. I love the message of the poem, the routine
habits creates the mundane causing the lost of imagination. The last line “catches
tigers in red weather” is so different its unsettling yet refreshing.
