"An apple serves as well as any skull / to be the book in which to read a round..."

Thank you for the quote. I have just ordered The Collected Works of Wallace Stevens. I suspect the symbolism suffered from the audience's ignorance, like mine. The photo is certainly striking enough.

I am struggling with the knife, since
"This luscious and impeccable fruit of life
Falls, it appears, of its own weight to earth."

I suppose the knife is a supporting symbolism of death, but a violent one?

I see the green, I understand the connection of green and envy, I just don't think it's shown here.

Sorry, didn't do it for me. And I was distracted by all the "e"s being backwards but one.

Definitely lust. A little too neat for sloth, IMHO.
