In the Details

Wallace Stevens,
An Ordinary Evening in New Haven:

XXII

Professor Eucalyptus said, "The search
For reality is as momentous as
The search for God."  It is the philosopher's search
For an interior made exterior
And the poet's search for the same exterior made
Interior….

   … Likewise to say of the evening star,
The most ancient light in the most ancient sky,
That it is wholly an inner light, that it shines
From the sleepy bosom of the real, re-creates,
Searches a possible for its possibleness.

Julie Taymor, "Skewed Mirrors" interview:

"… they were performing for God. Now God can mean whatever you want it to mean. But for me, I understood it so totally. The detail….

They did it from the inside to the outside. And from the outside to the in. And that profoundly moved me then. It was…it was the most important thing that I ever experienced."

  1. I no longer search for reality…I know that I create it. Still I wonder what would happen if I didn’t create fast enough and end up on the floor when I sit down in the chair. HA!:-D
