Famous quotes containing the word dance:

    God be with the times when I
    Cared not a thraneen for what chanced
    So that I had the limbs to try
    Such a dance as there was danced—
    Love is like the lion’s tooth.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Come to me, Jenny, let’s dance a bit tonight,
    The long small tremor’s at my back again....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
