Pasadena

The city of Pasadena is referenced once in Stevens' canon in the poem "Of Hartford in a Purple Light." This name may reference Pasadena California, Pasadena Texas, or even Pasadena, Maryland, though this seems unlikely due to the appearnace of the word "western" in the following line. 
=="Of Hartford in a Purple Light" ==
Stevens wrote this poem in honor of his hometown of Hartford, CT. The reference to Pasdena appears in the third stanza:
 A long time you have been making the trip
 From Havre to Hartford, Master Soleil,
 Bringing the lights of Norway and all that. 
 
 A long time the ocean has come with you,
 Shaking the water off, like a poodle, 
 That splatters incessant thousands of drops, 
 
 Each drop a petty tricolor. For this, 
 The aunts in Pasadena, remembering, 
 Abhor the plaster of the western horses,
 
 Souvenirs of museums. (ll. 1-10a)
