Famous quotes containing the word music:

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

    “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A woman drew her long black hair out tight
    And fiddled whisper music on those strings
    And bats with baby faces in the violet light
    Whistled, and beat their wings
    And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
