Meditation for Schicksalstag

Filed under: General — m759 @ 12:24 pm

"There might be, too, a change immenser than
A poet’s metaphors in which being would

Come true, a point in the fire of music where
Dazzle yields to a clarity and we observe,

And observing is completing and we are content,
In a world that shrinks to an immediate whole,

That we do not need to understand, complete
Without secret arrangements of it in the mind."

— Wallace Stevens, "Description Without Place,"
Sewanee Review,  October-December 1945
