Love Songs and Prayers: A Retrospective

Famous quotes containing the words love and/or songs:

“Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,
That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain,

Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain,
I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe:”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
