It Must Change or It Must Give Pleasure.

Zorba's dance and the 8 ½ dance are the best movie endings there are.

There are no ideas except in things, say the poets, and Stevens says “maybe”. There is an audience behind us and our watching, and everyone writes their poems to the muse.

There are three things that a poem must do: be abstract, change, give pleasure. To be abstract it must not be Trees. To abs-tract means to strip away so we can see things as they really are.

ephebe |ˈefēb; iˈfēb|
noun (in ancient Greece) a young man of 18–20 years undergoing military training.

There is only us and this bare rock.

The poem, through candor, brings back a power again
That gives a candid kind to everything

He throws away god and then god comes back, he throws away myth and out comes the myth of mythlessness.
