: what does gubbinal mean?
as far as i know ( and according to Perkin's A History of Modern Poetry) Gubbinal is a made-up word Stevens uses to further convey the meaningless theme in the poem itself...the idea that nothing can be right, not even something as beautiful as the sun or sunflower can express happiness...
