Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    Then sounds the voice of One who like the heart of man
    Was once a child who among beasts has lain—
    ‘Still do I love, still shed my innocent light, my Blood, for thee.’
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    Why is it that reality, when set down untransposed in a book, sounds false?
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    O to dream, O to awake and wander
    There, and with delight to take and render,
    Through the trance of silence,
    Quiet breath;
    Lo! for there, among the flowers and grasses,
    Only the mightier movement sounds and passes;
    Only winds and rivers,
    Life and death.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
