Famous quotes containing the word music:

    Poetry
    Exceeding music must take the place
    Of empty heaven and its hymns....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    When in our music God is glorified,
    and adoration leaves no room for pride,
    it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia!
    Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)

    But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
    And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
    Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
    Or smote upon the string and to the sound
    Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
