Newton Le Willows

Famous quotes containing the words newton and/or willows:

    I frame no hypotheses; for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called a hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.
    —Isaac Newton (1642–1727)

    There, beyond the dykes

    I heard wind flaking sapphire, like this summer,
    And willows could not hold more steady sound.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
