Constant Pool

Famous quotes containing the words constant and/or pool:

    If only he would not pity us so much,
    Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great
    And small, a constant fellow of destiny,
    A too, too human god, self-pity’s kin
    And uncourageous genesis . . .
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    A pool is, for many of us in the West, a symbol not of affluence but of order, of control over the uncontrollable. A pool is water, made available and useful, and is, as such, infinitely soothing to the western eye.
    Joan Didion (b. 1934)
