Famous quotes containing the words pause and/or song:
“The dead have been awakened—shall I sleep?
The world’s at war with tyrants—shall I crouch?
The harvest’s ripe—and shall I pause to reap?
I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
Its echo in my heart.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.”
—Bible: Hebrew The Song of Solomon 2:5.
