Constable John Stevens

Famous quotes containing the words constable and/or stevens:

    “I did not know that thou wert dead before;
    I did not feel the grief I did sustain;

    I stood amazed when other’s tears begun,
    And now begin to weep when they have done.”
    —Henry Constable (1562–1613)

    “Green is the night and out of madness woven,
    The self-same madness of the astronomers
    And of him that sees, beyond the astronomers,
    The topaz rabbit and the emerald cat....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
