Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or drums:
“He hath a heart as sound as a bell and his tongue is the clapper, for what his heart thinks, his tongue speaks.”

“It was soldiers went marching over the rocks
And still the birds came, came in watery flocks,
Because it was spring and the birds had to come.
No doubt that soldiers had to be marching
And that drums had to be rolling, rolling, rolling.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
