Stevens Township

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or township:

    Hoot how the inhuman colors fell
    Into place beside her, where she was,
    Like human conciliations, more like
    A profounder reconciling, an act,
    An affirmation free from doubt.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
