Famous quotes containing the words light, classical and/or music:

    The light passes
    from ridge to ridge,
    from flower to flower—
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Classical art, in a word, stands for form; romantic art for content. The romantic artist expects people to ask, What has he got to say? The classical artist expects them to ask, How does he say it?
    —R.G. (Robin George)

    Music, ho, music such as charmeth sleep!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
