Novelty Songs

Famous quotes containing the words novelty and/or songs:

    “A barnacle goose
    Far up in the stretches of night; night splits and the dawn breaks loose;

    Those great sea-horses bare their teeth and laugh at the dawn.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “How learned he bitter songs of lost Iambe,
    Or that a cup-shaped breast is nothing vile?”
