"Anecdote of the Jar" and "Sunday Morning"
Captions available
The idea
A jar placed on a hill in Tennessee makes the wilderness surround it, so an object organizes a landscape. "Sunday Morning" has a woman at home weigh the comforts of the world against a religion she no longer holds.
In practice
A jar on a hill, and a Sunday at home.
Where people slip
Both poems ask what supplies order now.
