One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,

Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

O Thou steeled Cognizance whose leap commits
The agile precincts of the lark’s return;
Within whose lariat sweep encinctured sing
In single chrysalis the many twain,—
Of stars Thou art the stitch and stallion glow
And like an organ, Thou, with sound of doom—
Sight, sound and flesh Thou leadest from time’s realm
As love strikes clear direction for the helm.

It Must Be Abstract

I

Begin, ephebe, by perceiving the idea
Of this invention, this invented world,
The inconceivable idea of the sun.

You must become an ignorant man again
And see the sun again with an ignorant eye
And see it clearly in the idea of it.

Never suppose an inventing mind as source
Of this idea nor for that mind compose
A voluminous master folded in his fire.

How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
That has expelled us and our images . . .

The death of one god is the death of all.
Let purple Phoebus lie in umber harvest,
Let Phoebus slumber and die in autumn umber,

Phoebus is dead, ephebe. But Phoebus was
A name for something that never could be named.
There was a project for the sun and is.

There is a project for the sun. The sun
Must bear no name, gold flourisher, but be
In the difficulty of what it is to be.

The true Best Stevens. But it's not a sentence:

Yellow Afternoon

It was in the earth only
That he was at the bottom of things
And of himself. There he could say
Of this I am, this is the patriarch,
This it is that answers when I ask,
This is the mute, the final sculpture
Around which silence lies on silence.
This reposes alike in springtime
And, arbored and bronzed, in autumn.

He said I had this that I could love,
As one loves visible and responsive peace,
As one loves one’s own being,
As one loves that which is the end
And must be loved, as one loves that
Of which one is a part as in a unity,
A unity that is the life one loves,
So that one lives all the lives that comprise it
As the life of the fatal unity of war.

Everything comes to him
From the middle of his field. The odor
Of earth penetrates more deeply than any word.
There he touches his being. There as he is
He is. The thought that he had found all this
Among men, in a woman—she caught his breath—
But he came back as one comes back from the sun
To lie on one’s bed in the dark, close to a face
Without eyes or mouth, that looks at one and speaks.

Current-borne, wave-flung, tugged hugely by the whole might of ocean, the jellyfish drifts in the tidal abyss. The light shines through it, and the dark enters it. Borne, flung, tugged from anywhere to anywhere, for in the deep sea there is no compass but nearer and farther, higher and lower, the jellyfish hangs and sways; pulses move slight and quick within it, as the vast diurnal pulses beat in the moondriven sea. Hanging, swaying, pulsing, the most vulnerable and insubstantial creature, it has for its defense the violence and power of the whole ocean, to which it has entrusted its being, its going, and its will.

Read it or dont read it if you like. Because you make so little impression, you see. You get born and you try this and you don’t know why only you keep on trying it and you are born at the same time with a lot of other people, all mixed up with them, like trying to, having to, move your arms and legs with strings only the same strings are hitched to all the other arms and legs and the others all trying and they dont know why either except that the strings are all in one another’s way like five or six people all trying to make a rug on the same loom only each one wants to weave his own pattern into the rug; and it cant matter, you know that, or the Ones that set up the loom would have arranged things a little better, and yet it must matter because you keep on trying or having to keep on trying and then all of a sudden it’s all over and all you have left is a block of stone with scratches on it provided there was someone to remember to have the marble scratched and set up or had time to, and it rains on it and the sun shines on it and after a while they don’t even remember the name and what the scratches were trying to tell, and it doesn’t matter. And so maybe if you could go to someone, the stranger the better, and give them something-a scrap of paper- something, anything, it not to mean anything in itself and them not even to read it or keep it, not even bother to throw it away or destroy it, at least it would be something just because it would have happened, be remembered even if only in passing from one hand to another, one mind to another, and it would be at least a scratch, something, something that might make a mark on something that was once for the reason that it can die someday, while the block of stone cant be is because it never can become was because it cant ever die or perish.

her nose is too long, not pointed out far enough, cheekbones are weak, zygomatic arches don’t accentuate her lips and nose properly, create ugly midface, her orbitals don’t have enough bone deposit to keep them from sagging and her eyes are too far forward set in her skull, she has a neotenous skull so all the best features (large eyes, aquiline but long, ugly, nose and cute chin) are ruined by there not being enough space for the rest of her features. midface and orbitals+orbital set in the upper face kill the appeal. She looks exhausted all the time because the skin and tissue under her eyes doesn’t have any structure to keep good blood flow and her nose is slightly erring to one side and again is just too long for her tiny face. She had bad nutrition and bad oral posture as a child, maxilla is also too far back, needs to be brough forward with jaw surgery or mewing. She’s unlucky, she could have been exceptionally beautiful. Hair is also short because of bad nutrition, low estrogen, she needs to eat better, get more water in her diet, more amino acids and more sunlight. Even that won’t do anything her body is dysfunctional in its assembly and there’s no fixing that without gene therapy that doesn’t exist yet.

For reference look at a profile of a victoria’s secret model then look at your favorite internet qt. 9/10 the problem is maxilla+bad orbital bone deposit+horrible nasal bridge and nasofacial angle

This has nothing to do with what a mongrel subjectively deems "attractive", i.e any particular person's standards. It is rather about a structural prejudice enforced by a societal belief that no one actually has to individually retain.

For example, it is mostly safe to say that a very high percentage of men would not deny approaches from women fitting under a very large range of different weights. Yet "don't be fat" is the #1 societal message being passed on by both men and women, or rather, by "society" insofar as not many people actually care when it comes down to their friends, children, etc.

This is of course much more extensive of a structure than just body fat ratio, and is actually more related to symmetry of face, color (of course, but not necessarily favoring whites in every case), and overall body structure. It also goes beyond the sphere of sexual relations to the point that attractive people (in this structural sense, not your personal models-are-nasty views) are usually regarded as better fitting for certain jobs and not fitting for others. This shouldn't sound strange really, we do the same with hobbies, food tastes and what not, after all you would hardly conceive of a sports buff working with physics or a football coach writing essays on Hegel in his free time.
