Forth then with huge pathetic force
Straight to the utmost crown of night he flew
The nothingness was a nakedness, a point
Beyond which thought could not progress as thought.
He had to choose. But it was not a choice
Between excluding things. It was not a choice
Between, but of. He chose to include the things
That in each other are included, the whole,
The complicate, the amassing harmony.
– Wallace Stevens (Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction)
