Famous quotes containing the words popular, dance and/or music:
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“The deft white-stockinged dance in thick-soled
shoes! Denmarks sanctuaried Jews!”
—Marianne Moore (18871972)
“A man in all the worlds new fashion planted,
That hath a mint of phrases in his brain.
One who the music of his own vain tongue
Doth ravish like enchanting harmony.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
