Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    ... the world always a step
    beyond the world, that can’t
    be looked for, only
    as the eye wanders,
    found.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Soldier, there is a war between the mind
    And sky, between thought and day and night. It is
    For that the poet is always in the sun,
    Patches the moon together in his room
    To his Virgilian cadences, up down,
    Up down. It is a war that never ends.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
