Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
    List to the heavy part the music bears,
    “Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
    Droop herbs and flowers;
    Fall grief in showers;
    “Our beauties are not ours”:
    Oh, I could still,
    Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
    Drop, drop, drop, drop,
    Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

    “Your remark that clams will lie quiet if music be played to them, was superfluous—entirely superfluous.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
