Famous quotes containing the word stevens:

    It is as if being was to be observed,
    As if, among the possible purposes
    Of what one sees, the purpose that comes first,
    The surface, is the purpose to be seen,
    The property of the moon, what it evokes.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
