Famous quotes containing the words folk and/or music:

    “the yonge sonne
    Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
    And smale foweles maken melodye,
    That slepen al the nyght with open eye—
    So priketh hem nature in hir corages—
    Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “O I shall hear skull skull,
    Hear your lame music,
    Believe music rejects undertaking,
    Limps back.”
    —Owen Dodson (b. 1914)
