Stevens Plurality

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or plurality:

    with our bones
    We left much more, left what still is
    The look of things, left what we felt

    At what we saw.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Nearly all our powerful men in this age of the world are unbelievers; the best of them in doubt and misery; the worst of them in reckless defiance; the plurality in plodding hesitation, doing, as well as they can, what practical work lies ready to their hands.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
