Famous quotes containing the words bach and/or house:

    The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Part way back from Bedlam
    I came to my mother’s house in Gloucester,
    Massachusetts. And this is how I came
    to catch at her; and this is how I lost her.
    I cannot forgive your suicide, my mother said.
    And she never could.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
