"A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have." ― Wallace Stevens Topic(s): Nature More From Wallace Stevens "We say God and the imagination are one… How high that highest candle lights the dark." "If poetry should address itself to the same needs and aspirations, the same hopes and fears, to which the Bible addresses itself, it might rival it in distribution." "To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind." More In Nature "The Amen of nature is always a flower."― Oliver Wendell Holmes "Everything in excess is opposed to nature."― Hippocrates "No phenomenon can be isolated, but has repercussions through every aspect of our lives. We are learning that we are a fundamental part of nature’s ecosystems."― Arthur Erickson
