"Death is the mother of Beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires"
- Wallace Stevens
About this Quote
This quote by Wallace Stevens recommends an often-overlooked reality about death-- that it can give birth to beauty. The concept that death is the mother of charm recommends that charm is not something that can be experienced without accepting the inevitability of death. Without acknowledging the transience of life, we can't totally value the beauty around us. This quote also suggests that our dreams and desires can just be totally realized through death, which might appear like a paradox, but it talks to the idea that often it is just through letting go that we can really attain what we desire many.
