Wallace Stevens Quote

Slowly the ivy on the stones
Becomes the stones. Women become
The cities, children become the fields
And men in waves become the sea.


The Man With the Blue Guitar (1937)


Slowly the ivy on the stones Becomes the stones. Women become The cities, children become the fields And men in waves become the sea.

Slowly the ivy on the stones Becomes the stones. Women become The cities, children become the fields And men in waves become the sea.

Slowly the ivy on the stones Becomes the stones. Women become The cities, children become the fields And men in waves become the sea.

Slowly the ivy on the stones Becomes the stones. Women become The cities, children become the fields And men in waves become the sea.
