Break of Day

The poem "Break of Day" and "The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain" are linked together because of how both mention something that involves dreaming about a world in their own view. In "The Poem..." by Stevens, it explains how someone, possibly himself, imagined a world in his own image, able to change whatever he wished to what he wanted. In "Break of Day" by Borges, he talks about how ideas are not eternal, but are immortal like a forest or a river. Stevens' poem is about a man's idea of a world, and Borges talks about how such ideas are immortal.
