Built Survey

Famous quotes containing the words built and/or survey:

“Others built beautifully and well,
but fell
to lie
like a bleached hull;
other sea-cities have faltered
and striven with the tide.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
