American Musician

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or musician:

“... his voice and hands,
Within whose warm spring rain of loving care
Each dwells some twenty seconds. Now, dear child,
What’s wrong, the deep American voice demands,
And, scarcely pausing, goes into a prayer
Directing God about this eye, that knee.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“I think
The nightingale, if she should sing by day
When every goose is cackling, would be thought
No better a musician than the wren.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
