Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or stevens:

    You have created a monster and it will destroy you.
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    With my whole body I taste these peaches,
    I touch them and smell them. Who speaks?
    I absorb them as the Angevine
    Absorbs Anjou. I see them as a lover sees,
    As a young lover sees the first buds of spring
    And as the black Spaniard plays his guitar.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
