(The Well Dressed Man With A Beard - A poem by Wallace Stevens)
After the final no there comes a yes
And on that yes the future world depends.
No was the night. Yes is this present sun.
If the rejected things, the things denied .. One thing remaining, infallible, would be Enough. .. Green in the body, out of a petty phrase, Out of a thing believed, a thing affirmed:
.. It can never be satisfied, the mind, never.
