Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or stevens:

    To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious.... There are far worse things awaiting man than death.
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    The President has apples on the table
    And barefoot servants round him, who adjust
    The curtains to a metaphysical t
    And the banners of the nation flutter, burst
    On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack
    At the halyards.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
