Epic Songs

Famous quotes containing the words epic and/or songs:

“The epic of disbelief
Blares oftener and soon, will soon be constant.”

“O women, kneeling by your altar-rails long hence,
When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer,
And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air
And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense;
Bend down and pray for all that sin I wove in song....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
