Famous quotes containing the word sound:

    “Content thee, howsoe’er, whose days are done;
    There lies not any troublous thing before,
    Nor sight nor sound to war against thee more,
    For whom all winds are quiet as the sun,
    All waters as the shore.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    “Only the sound remains,
    the distant thump of the good elephants,
    the voice of the ancient lions
    and how the bells
    trembled for the flying man.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
