Music Theatre Work

Famous quotes containing the words music, theatre and/or work:

“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“As in a theatre the eyes of men,
After a well-graced actor leaves the stage,
Are idly bent on him that enters next,
Thinking his prattle to be tedious,
Even so, or with much more contempt, men’s eyes
Did scowl on gentle Richard.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

““The work is done,” grown old he thought,
“According to my boyish plan;
Let the fools rage, I swerved in nought,
Something to perfection brought;”
But louder sang that ghost “What then?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
