Contained Songs Sung

Famous quotes containing the words contained, songs and/or sung:

    Time present and time past
    Are both perhaps present in time future,
    And time future contained in time past.
    If all time is eternally present
    All time is unredeemable.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    On a cloud I saw a child,
    And he laughing said to me,

    “Pipe a song about a Lamb”;
    So I piped with merry chear.
    “Piper pipe that song again”—
    So I piped, he wept to hear.

    “Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe
    Sing thy songs of happy chear”;
    So I sung the same again
    While he wept with joy to hear.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    I have sung all night
    for the mouths that float back later,
    one by one,
    holding a lady’s wornout shoe.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
