Quotes

Divinity must live within herself: Passions of rain, or moods in the falling snow; Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued. Elations when the forest blooms; gusty. Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights; All pleasures and all pains, remembering. The boughs of summer and the winter branch. These are the measures destined for her soul. Wallace Stevens
One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow; And have been cold a long time To behold the junipers shagged with ice, The spruces rough in the distant glitter Of the January sun; and not to think Of any misery in the sound of the wind, In the sound of a few leaves, Which is the sound of the land Full of the same wind That is blowing in the same bare place For the listener, who listens in the snow, And, nothing himself, beholds Nothing... Wallace Stevens
Wallace Stevens quote: "People should like poetry the way a child likes snow, and they..."
People should like poetry the way a child likes snow, and they would if poets wrote it. Wallace Stevens
For the listener, who listens in the snow, / And, nothing himself, beholds /Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is. Wallace Stevens
