The Study of Two Pears

In this poem Stevens is observing pears. He thinks he knows what they are and tries to fit that into his preconceived image. However, he has a very hard time doing this. "They are yellow form composed of curves....They are not flat surfaces having curved outlines." He tries and tries to will the pear into becoming what he wants, but it will not. The last stanza to me is the most important. The pears are not seen As the observer wills." I think this relates to truth. There is truth but we cannot fully capture it. As soon as we think we fully know what it is, it then eludes us once more. I believe this means there is always more to learn and you can never stop learning. As we try and force our idea of truth on it, it will continue to refuse to be limited.
