Famous quotes containing the words persian, folk and/or music:

“Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Some folk want their luck buttered.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.”
