Famous quotes containing the words thomas s, thomas and/or kuhn:

    The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
    The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
    The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,

    Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
    O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    A worm tells summer better than the clock,
    The slug’s a living calendar of days;
    What shall it tell me if a timeless insect
    Says the world wears away?
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    In a sense that I am unable to explicate further, the proponents of competing paradigms practice their trades in different worlds.
