: : Anybody can help me to write my thesys about Stevens?
: : I am an Italian student, I study philosophy at the University of Pisa, I'm trying to write my thesys about this poet, who is completely unknown here in Italy. Nobody knows him, even my professors.
: : I would like to study the concept of "Truth" in Stevens (remember I study philosophy not litterature)is there some poems I ought to read about it?
: : Basically, I would like to be able to answer this question: "What's the truth for Wallace Stevens?"
: : Please help me, help me to make this American poet popular in Europe too. Thank you in advance
: truth is what is evident to the senses mediated by mind, winter's mind, at the juncture between memory, feeling, philosophy,and nature.
: what is real in what is evident in moments of high concentration , absorbtion, clearing a space for everything to exist on its own without you the silent observer pretending not to exist when the sky lifts and the walls recede and you are there holding the baby like moses holding jesus
: in the plan: read winter's mind.
: incapable
