Famous quotes containing the words greville and/or stevens:

    O wearisome condition of humanity!
    Born under one law, to another bound;
    Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
    Created sick, commanded to be sound.
    What meaneth nature by these diverse laws?
    Passion and reason self-division cause.
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    How does one stand
    To behold the sublime,
    To confront the mockers,
    The mickey mockers
    And plated pairs?
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
