Frasi Wallace Stevens
„Perhaps
The truth depends on a walk around a lake“
— Wallace Stevens
Context: p>Perhaps
The truth depends on a walk around a lake,A composing as the body tires, a stop
To see hepatica, a stop to watch
A definition growing certain andA wait within that certainty, a rest
In the swags of pine-trees bordering the lake.
Perhaps there are times of inherent excellence</p
„I felt afraid.
And I remembered the cry of the peacocks.“
— Wallace Stevens
Context: I saw how the night came,
Came striding like the color of the heavy hemlocks.
I felt afraid.
And I remembered the cry of the peacocks.
"Domination of Black"
„We agree in principle. That's clear.“
— Wallace Stevens
Context: We agree in principle. That's clear. But take
The opposing law and make a peristyle,
And from the peristyle project a masque
Beyond the planets. Thus, our bawdiness,
Unpurged by epitaph, indulged at last,
Is equally converted into palms,
Squiggling like saxophones. And palm for palm,
Madame, we are where we began.
"A High-Toned Old Christian Woman" (1922)
