Performed Songs

Famous quotes containing the words performed and/or songs:

“Ambition often puts Men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
