Hearing

Famous quotes containing the word hearing:

    It was my thirtieth year to heaven
    Woke to my hearing from harbor and neighbor wood
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Dark night, that from the eye his function takes,
    The ear more quick of apprehension makes;
    Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense
    It pays the hearing double recompense.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When, at rare intervals, some thought visits one, as perchance he is walking on a railroad, then, indeed, the cars go by without his hearing them. But soon, by some inexorable law, our life goes by and the cars return.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
