wallace stevens - less and less human lyrics

Loading...

if there must be a god in the house, must be
saying things in the rooms and on the stair
let him move as the sunlight moves on the floor
or moonlight, silently, as plato’s ghost
or aristotle’s skeleton. let him hang out
his stars on the wall. he must dwell quietly
he must be incapable of speaking, closed
as those are: as light, for all its motion, is;
as color, even the closest to us, is;
as shapes, though they portend us, are
it is the human that is the alien
the human that has no cousin in the moon
it is the human that demands his speech
from beasts or from the incommunicable mass
if there must be a god in the house, let him be one
that will not hear us when we speak: a coolness
a vermilioned nothingness, any stick of the mass
of which we are too distantly a part
