Break of Day

This poem brings up the idea that life and everything involved may just be one big dream. From here he goes through the idea of a dream and tries to almost find some kind of purpose in this dream that we call life. He brings up that it would be very easy for god to just take it all away in an instant. If this is true, why doesn't it happen? Why are we still living in this dreamworld. In a way, I think that Wallace Stevens kind of brings this up in "The Poem that Took the Place of a Mountain," in that he is kind of trying to find the reason for life or his purpose in his own life. He then finds some completeness in knowing that he has separated himself from the group and lived life for himself and not based on the expectations that influence a person's decisions throughout life.
