Water as Metaphor for Poetry

2007.11.13


Most people read poetry listening for echoes because the echoes are familiar to them. They wade through it the way a boy wades through water, feeling with his toes for the bottom: The echoes are the bottom.—
Wallace Stevens

vollenda Interesting quote. I think it's because the echoes call out to those echoes inside us and make a poem more personal.

I like the way the water goes off into the distance.
