I recently took a course on the poetry of Wallace Stevens, and it became apparent that there were undeniable parrallels between the thinking of Bergson and the poetry of Stevens. I think Stevens responds to categories arrived at by the French philosopher. One of these is the idea that man needs a fiction, like a religion or mysticism which can act as a force against man's unique awareness of his own death. Stevens attempts to create a way of thinking or of seeing the world which allows him to actively participate in Bergson's duree. I find both Bergson and Stevens fascinating. I'd like any input related to the subject.
