Valley Candle is a poem from Wallace Stevens’s first book of poetry Harmonium. It is in the public domain according to Librivox having been first published prior to the 1923 publication year of Harmonium.[1]Valley Candle is a spare and austere poem with Imagist virtues. It may be compared to Domination of Black which also makes use of the colors of the night though Domination is more emotionally charged. Like other works it is entirely written in metaphors.
