According to John Paul, this longing for transcendent truth
is coeval with human existence: All men and women "shape a
comprehensive vision and an answer to the question of
life's meaning."
-- "Culture, et cetera", [1]Washington Times, October 6,
2000
Coeval with human speech and found among all peoples,
poetry appeals to our sense of wonder, to our unending
quest for answers to the timeless questions of who we are
and why we are.
-- Mark Mathabane, "A Poet Can Lead Us Toward Change",
[2]Newsday, January 20, 1993
Unhappily, however, the writers speak almost wholly to
those who already regard Lewis as not just the coeval but
the equal of T. S. Eliot, Joyce and Pound.
-- Julian Symons, "Prophecy and Dishonor", [3]New York
Times, February 10, 1985
The 1,500 years of [Barcelona's] existence had produced
only five names that came easily to mind: the cellist Pau

coeval Salvador Dali, both of whom were still very much
alive, and the dead architect Antoni Gaud�.
-- Nicholas Shrady, "Glorious in Its Very Stones", [4]New
York Times, March 15, 1992
