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

When I was a teenager I had a boyfriend who's father had gotten him this album and he loved it so much he went and bought me a copy. I must have played it over a hundred times. RIP Tom, you'll be missed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Petty
