“That really is, really, I think, the Island of the Misfit Toys
at that point. You have crossed the Rubicon, you jumped on

from Virginia, in an interview."

The instinct for heaven had its counterpart:
The instinct for earth, for New Haven, for his room,
The gay tournamonde as of a single world

In which he is and as and is are one.

— Wallace Stevens, "An Ordinary Evening in New Haven"


Yale Daily News, Jan. 11, 2001:  

“When New Haven was founded, the city was laid out into
a grid of nine squares surrounded by a great wilderness.
Last year History of Art Professor Emeritus Vincent Scully
said the original town plan reflected a feeling that the new city
should be sacred. Scully said the colony’s founders thought of
their new Puritan settlement as a ‘nine-square paradise on Earth,
heaven on earth, New Haven, New Jerusalem.'”
 

“Real and unreal are two in one: New Haven
Before and after one arrives . . . .”

— Wallace Stevens,
“An Ordinary Evening in New Haven’ XXVIII
