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;
    The greater stroke astonisheth the more;
    Astonishment takes from us sense of pain.
    I stood amazed when other’s tears begun,
    And now begin to weep when they have done.”
    —Henry Constable (1562–1613)

    “The sky seemed so small that winter day,
    A dirty light on a lifeless world,
    Contracted like a withered stick.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
