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

“The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream.”

“I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw”

“I placed a jar in Tennessee and round it”

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

“The Poem That Took The Place Of A Mountain”

“I am the truth, since I am part of what is real, but neither more nor less than those around me.”

“Thou shalt believe in Milton, Dryden, Pope;”

“Women who focus on style over substance usually find themselves in a big fucking hole, with other men who want to fuck the hole. Oh so smooth, and none sophistacted. Because, you know, how sophisticated can hole-fucking really be”

“I don’t think that I’ve been in love as such”

“After Bajju delivered a few beaming salutations, we walked northward up the makeshift, winding path through protruding brush, not much but a few stones placed here and there for balance and leverage upon ascending or descending. Having advanced about hundred steps from the street below, a sharp left leads to Bajju’s property, which begins with his family’s miniature garden – at the time any signs of fertility were mangled by dried roots which flailed like wheat straw, but within the day Bajju’s children vehemently delivered blows with miniature hoes in preparation for transforming such a plot into a no-longer-neglected vegetable garden. A few steps through the produce, or preferably circumventing all of it by taking a few extra steps around the perimeter, leads to the sky-blue painted home. Twisting left, hundreds of miles of rolling hills and the occasional home peeps out, bound below by demarcated farming steppes. If you’re lucky on a clear day and twist to the right, the monstrous, perpetually snow-capped Chaukhamba mountain monopolizes the distance just fifteen miles toward the direction of Tibet in the north.”
