Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.”

“Where should this music be? I’ th’ air, or th’ earth?
It sounds no more.”

Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”
