Il piacere di arrivare alla mente centrale

The Post reviewed some recent poetry last evening and said that the writing of poetry nowadays was partly an exercise of vanity. Partly, that is, no doubt, true. And it is just in the measure of the vanity that we laugh at poets. Well, I admit a measure. Let the admission excuse the vanity. – But there is also a pure delight in doing it. How deeply one gets into one’s mind!

dalla lettera del 31 gennaio 1909 di Wallace Stevens a Elsie Moll
