Wallace Stevens
  • Death is the mother of Beauty hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.

  • It is the unknown that excites the ardor of scholars, who, in the known alone, would shrivel up with boredom.

  • Death is the mother of Beauty hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.

  • I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections, Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling, Or just after.

  • Death is the mother of Beauty hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.
