Poetry Quote by Wallace Stevens — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“After the final no there comes a yes / And on that yes the future world depends.”

“A pear should come to the table popped with juice,”

“We live in an old chaos of the sun.”

“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.”

“There will never be an end”

“The poem must resist the intelligence”

“I am—yet what I am none cares or knows;”

“We had the experience but missed the meaning,”

“To delight the ear and the eye is a mere sensual indulgence;—true poetry strikes at the soul.”

“I Worried”

“If we surrendered”

“Here the frailest leaves of me and yet my strongest lasting, Here I shade and hide my thoughts, I myself do not expose them, And yet they expose me more than all my other poems”
