Knopf's 1997 edition of Stevens' Collected Poems Of... p. 358: 4th stanza,
1st line:
"Wanted to lean, wanted much most to be"
The same in Vintage 1990 edition: the Palm At The End Of The Mind, p. 279.
When googling this poem, I found the word "most" omitted from that line:

http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/Wallace-Stevens/1023
http://plagiarist.com/poetry/1024/
http://www.eliteskills.com/c/12886 etc.
Is this just a lot of people's sloppy typing, or did Stevens re-do that
line somewhere? Any insight? Thank you.
