Stevens/schools

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or schools:

“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
