Treasure Trove of Quotes

This is the 65th anniversary of the death of American modernist poet Wallace Stevens. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his Collected Poems in 1955.

"I was myself the compass of that sea:
I was the world in which I walked,
and what I saw or heard or felt;
came naught but from myself;

And there I found myself, more truly 
and more strange."

In addition to his poems, Stevens left a treasure trove of quotes.
