Famous quotes containing the word sounds:
“Then sounds the voice of One who like the heart of man
Was once a child who among beasts has lain
Still do I love, still shed my innocent light, my Blood, for thee.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (18871964)
“If there is a man white as marble
Sits in a wood, in the greenest part,
Brooding sounds of the images of death,
So there is a man in black space
Sits in nothing that we know,
Brooding sounds of river noises....”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“half-way up the hill, I see the Past
Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,
A city in the twilight dim and vast,
With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,
And hear above me on the autumnal blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18091882)
