Famous quotes containing the word tumult:

    Thru all the tumult and the strife,
    I hear that music ringing.
    It sounds and echoes in my soul;
    How can I keep from singing?
    —Quaker. (Worship Comes Alive)

    The awaited scream rises,
    the shattering
    of glass and the cracking
    of bone
    a polar tumult as when
    black ice booms....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Far-off, most secret, and inviolate Rose,
    Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those
    Who sought thee in the Holy Sepulchre,
    Or in the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir
    And tumult of defeated dreams....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
