Famous quotes containing the words folklore and/or song:

    “So, too, if, to our surprise, we should meet one of these morons whose remarks are so conspicuous a part of the folklore of the world of the radio—remarks made without using either the tongue or the brain, spouted much like the spoutings of small whales—we should recognize him as below the level of nature but not as below the level of the imagination.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Who is at my window, who, who?
    It’s the blind cuckoo, mulling
    the old song over.
    The old song is about fear, about
    tomorrow and next year.
    Timor mortis conturbat me, he sings....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
