Golden Toned Tenor

Famous quotes containing the words golden, toned and/or tenor:

    Behold that great Plotinus swim
    Buffeted by such seas;
    Bland Rhadamanthus beckons him,
    But the Golden Race looks dim,
    Salt blood blocks his eyes.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It’s the boxers who attract the real women, after all, with their raw primeval strength, beautifully toned bodies and just a touch of vulnerability.
    Eamonn McCabe (b. 1948)

    to become a pimp
    Or deal in fake jewelry or ruin a fine tenor voice
    For effects that bring down the house could happen to all
    But the best and the worst of us . . .
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
