In my room, the world is beyond my understanding;
But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four
Hills and a cloud.

Additional quotes by Wallace Stevens

The palm stands on the edge of space.
The wind moves slowly in the branches.
The bird's fire-fangled feathers dangle down.

Be content — Expansions, diffusions — content to be The unspotted imbecile revery, The heraldic center of the world Of blue, blue sleek with a hundred chins, The amorist Adjective aflame...

An unaffected man in a negative light Could not have borne his labor nor have died Sighing that he should leave the banjo’s twang.

Of the Surface of Things In my room, the world is beyond my understanding; But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four Hills and a cloud. - Wallace Stevens
