"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 "In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all." "The imagination is man’s power over nature." "Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake." More In Nature "I am deeply concerned that, without peace and a two-state solution, the Jewish and democratic nature of Israel is in danger. That’s why I have opposed Israel’s settlement policy since 1973, and that’s why I have favored a two-state solution since 1967."― Alan Dershowitz "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 "Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts, and his higher nature – and another woman to help him forget them."― Helen Rowland
