Stevens Inquiry

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or inquiry:

“The President has apples on the table
And barefoot servants round him, who adjust
The curtains to a metaphysical t
And the banners of the nation flutter, burst
On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack
At the halyards.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

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