More quotes by Wallace Stevens
Beneath every no lays a passion for yes that had never been broken.
Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens
The purpose of poetry is to make life complete in itself.
Wallace Stevens
It is the sea that whitens the roof. The sea drifts through the winter air. It is the sea that the north wind makes. The sea is in the falling snow.

Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens
It was autumn and falling stars Covered the shrivelled forms Crouched in the moonlight.
Wallace Stevens
The winter is made and you have to bear it, The winter web, the winter woven, wind and wind, For all the thoughts of summer that go with it In the mind, pupa of straw, moppet of rags.
Wallace Stevens
We say This changes and that changes. Thus the constant Violets, doves, girls, bees and hyacinths Are inconstant objects of inconstant cause In a universe of inconstancy.
Wallace Stevens
Anything is beautiful if you say it is.
Wallace Stevens
Poetry is the statement of a relation between a man and the world
Wallace Stevens
I am the truth, since I am part of what is real, but neither more nor less than those around me.
Wallace Stevens
The physical world is meaningless tonight And there is no other.
Wallace Stevens
