Famous quotes containing the word harmony:

    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)

    Art knows no happier moment than the opportunity to show the symmetry of an extreme, during that moment of spheric harmony when the dissonance dissolves for the blink of an eye, dissolves into a blissful harmony, when the most extreme opposites, coming together from the greatest alienation, fleetingly touch with lips of the word and of love.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    The principle of subordination is the great bond of union and harmony through the universe.
    Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
