Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “A woman drew her long black hair out tight
    And fiddled whisper music on those strings
    And bats with baby faces in the violet light
    Whistled, and beat their wings
    And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Sound all the lofty instruments of war,
    And by that music let us all embrace,
    For, heaven to earth, some of us never shall
    A second time do such a courtesy.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Poetry
    Exceeding music must take the place
    Of empty heaven and its hymns....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
