Famous quotes containing the words country and/or music:

    And the country proverb known,
    That every man should take his own,
    In your waking shall be shown.
    Jack shall have Jill,
    Naught shall go ill:
    The man shall have his mare again, and all shall be well.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Westminster Abbey is nature crystallized into a conventional form by man, with his sorrows, his joys, his failures, and his seeking for the Great Spirit. It is a frozen requiem, with a nation’s prayer ever in dumb music ascending.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
