Famous quotes containing the words wallace stevens and/or stevens:
“You know that the nucleus of a time is not
The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
He shares the confusions of intelligence.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
