The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain
"It reminded him how he had needed
A place to go to in his own direction,"
The poem "The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain", by Wallace Stevens, has a much deeper meaning than what is on the surface. In these two lines, Stevens tries to express how the mountain represents a place he can go to find solitude and relaxation. While he is here he can get away from his stressful job and concentrate on writing. Although Stevens has a specific direction he heads toward while working, he has another direction, which is writing poems. The mountain represents a place of escape, to get away from the hustle and bustle of his everyday life.
