Additional quotes by Wallace Stevens

Struggling toward impassioned choirs, Crying among the clouds, enraged By gold antagonists in air — I know my lazy, leaden twang Is like the reason in a storm; And yet it brings the storm to bear. I twang it out and leave it there.

The fluctuations of certainty, the change Of degrees of perception in the scholar’s dark.

I am the angel of reality, Seen for a moment standing in the door.
