Famous quotes containing the words dance, music, family and/or stone:

    “No imperfection in budded mountain,
    Valleys breathe, heaven and earth move together,
    daisies push inches of yellow air, vegetables tremble,
    green atoms shimmer in grassy mandalas,
    sheep speckle the mountainside, revolving their jaws with empty eyes,
    horses dance in the warm rain,”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    “But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “And every stone shall cry,
    In praises of the child
    By whose descent among us
    The worlds are reconciled.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
