“We do not prove the existence of the poem.
It is something seen and known in lesser poems.
It is the huge, high harmony that sounds
A little and a little, suddenly,
By means of a separate sense. It is and it
Is not and, therefore, is.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Understanding the spirit of our institutions to aim at the elevation of man, I am opposed to whatever tends to degrade them.”
