Famous quotes containing the word harmony:

    The only coöperation which is commonly possible is exceedingly partial and superficial; and what little true coöperation there is, is as if it were not, being a harmony inaudible to men. If a man has faith, he will coöperate with equal faith everywhere; if he has not faith, he will continue to live like the rest of the world, whatever company he is joined to.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It was a flourishing tropic he required
    For his refreshment, an abundant zone,
    Prickly and obdurate, dense, harmonious,
    Yet with a harmony not rarefied
    Nor fined for the inhibited instruments
    Of over-civil stops.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
