Clothe me entire in the final filament,
More quotes by Wallace Stevens
Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.
A few things for themselves,
Florida, venereal soil,
Disclose to the lover.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
