Famous quotes containing the words air and/or force:
“The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
“Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
