Wallace Stevens Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: October 2, 1879 - August 2, 1955
Birthday: October 2
Death: August 2
I can't make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.
