Wallace Stevens- Men made out of words

Men made out of words
 
What should we be without the sexual myth,
the human reverie or poem of death?

Castratos of moon-mash--Life consists
of propositions about life.
The human.

Reverie is a solitude in which we compose these propositions, torn by dreams,

By the terrible incantations of defeats
and by the fear that defeats and dreams are one.

The whole race is a poet that writes down
the eccentric propositions of its fate.

Wallace Stevens

Tricking Astrid (Ch.2.2)

Chapter 2 (Part 2) The next morning was Saturday, her day off, so she woke early and left for a jog. She pushed herself harder this morning because of the anger she felt over giving more emotions towards Remy than she had expected. He was all she thought about. The last months had been wonderful. The way he ultimately made her feel was wonderful. Was she falling in love because of how he made her feel about herself or because of who he was? Who was Remy? She didn't even know. That was something she SHOULD know. Why had she not asked more personal questions all these months? It was as if just being around him made her accept whatever he did or said. He knew all about her.
