Within a single thing, a single shawl
Wrapped tightly round us, since we are poor, a warmth,
A light, a power, the miraculous influence.
(Final Soliloquy Of The Interior Paramour)

The poet makes silk dresses out of worms.
Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens
Within its vital boundary, in the mind.
Wallace Stevens
Beauty is momentary in the mind. The fitful tracing of a portal But in the flesh it is immortal. The Body dies the body's beauty lives. So evenings die, in their green going, A wave, interminably flowing. So gardens die, their meek breath scenting The cowl of Winter, done repenting.
Wallace Stevens
