Listening

Famous quotes containing the word listening:

    Downtown Manhattan, clear winter noon, and I’ve been up all night, talking, talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles blues shout blind on the phonograph
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,
    ring with the harmonies of liberty.
    Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies;
    Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
    James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

    Teach me half the gladness
    That thy brain must know,
    Such harmonious madness
    From my lips would flow,
    The world should listen then, as I am listening now.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
