Justly Tuned Perfect

Famous quotes containing the words justly, tuned and/or perfect:

    “If in this wide world, teeming with abundant supplies for human want, to thousands of wretched creatures no choice is open, save between starvation and sin, may we not justly say that there is something utterly wrong in the system that permits such things to be?”
    —Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)

    “Pitiless verse? A few words tuned
    And tuned and tuned and tuned.
    It is good.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “And then at last our bliss
    Full and perfect is,
    But now begins; for from this happy day
    The old Dragon underground,
    In straiter limits bound,
    Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
    And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
    Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
