Base Note

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or note:

“The base emotions Plato banned
have left a radio-active and not radiant land.”
—Libby Houston (b. 1941)

“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
