Pitch Accents

Famous quotes containing the words pitch and/or accents:

    “Though I have locked my gate on them
    I pity all the young,
    I know what devil’s trade they learn
    From those they live among,
    Their drink, their pitch and toss by day,
    Their robbery by night....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “When the lamp is shattered,
    The light in the dust lies dead;
    When the cloud is scattered,
    The rainbow’s glory is shed;
    When the lute is broken,
    Sweet tones are remembered not;
    When the lips have spoken,
    Loved accents are soon forgot.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
