The poem is the chronicle of the creative act that produces it.

The soul is not a soul,
Has no secret, is small, and it fits
Its hollow perfectly: its room, our moment of attention.

And the air pours in with piano notes
In its skirts, as though to say, “Look, John,
I’ve brought these and these”—that is,
A few Beethovens, some, Brahmses,
A few choice Poulenc notes. . .

At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through narrow passes.

En algún lugar alguien viaja furiosamente hacia ti,
a increíble velocidad, día y noche,
a través de ventiscas y el ardor del desierto,
cruzando torrentes, salva estrechos pasos.
¿Pero sabrá él dónde hallarte,
reconocerte cuando te vea,
darte lo que tiene para ti?

Just noticed that the (truncated) awning in the back of that photo of a young John A reads "YOU" - how right.
