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)

    “Infant, it is enough in life
    To speak of what you see. But wait
    Until sight wakens the sleepy eye
    And pierces the physical fix of things.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
