Final Chord

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or chord:

    The train rounds, bending to a scream,
    Taking the final level for the dive
    Under the river—
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
    Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
    And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
    Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
    Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
    The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
