Famous quotes containing the word sounds:
“When they sometimes
Come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed
Behind the door and headboard of the bed,
Brushing their chalky skull with chalky fingers,
With sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter,”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“From troublous sights and sounds set free;
In such a twilight hour of breath,
Shall one retrace his life or see,
Through shadows, the true face of death?”
—Ernest Christopher Dowson (1867–1900)
“And forever goodbye! Forever! Oh, Sir, can you imagine how dreadful this cruel word sounds when one loves?”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
