Words of the world
They are the life of the world

Loosely based on this excerpt:
and I perceived then and there and once and for all what my Hartford neighbor, Wallace Stevens, was soon to be setting down as the truth that all writers should live by, to wit: “Words of the world are the life of the world.”
Brendan Gill in A New York Life, Poseidon Press, 1990
