Court Music

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or music:

““But such as you and I do not seem old
Like men who live by habit. Every day
I ride with falcon to the river’s edge
Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
Or court a woman; neither enemy,
Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Poetry
Exceeding music must take the place
Of empty heaven and its hymns....”
