Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or songs:
“Whateer is Born of Mortal Birth
Must be consumed with the Earth”
—William Blake (17571827)
“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 isnt 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)
