Stevens Inquiry

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or inquiry:

    The mind is the great poem of winter, the man,
    Who, to find what will suffice,
    Destroys romantic tenements
    Of rose and ice....

    The philosophic spirit of inquiry may be traced to brute curiosity, and that to the habit of examining all things in search of food.
