Famous quotes containing the word stevens:

    Speak, even, as if I did not hear you speaking,
    But spoke for you perfectly in my thoughts,
    Conceiving words,
    As the night conceives the sea-sounds in silence,
    And out of their droning sibilants makes
    A serenade.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
