Industrial Folk Song

Famous quotes containing the words industrial, folk and/or song:

    “Nearly all the Escapists in the long past have managed their own budget and their social relations so unsuccessfully that I wouldn’t want them for my landlords, or my bankers, or my neighbors. They were valuable, like powerful stimulants, only when they were left out of the social and industrial routine.”
    —Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    “An’ when the earth’s as cauld’s the mune
    An’ a’ its folk are lang syne deid,
    On coontless stars the Babe maun cry
    An’ the Crucified maun bleed.”
    —Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)

    “Sumer is icumen in,
    Lhude sing cuccu!
    Groweth sed, and bloweth med,
    And springth the wude nu--
    Sing cuccu!”
    —Anonymous. Cuckoo Song (c. 1250)
