Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or note:
“Light, God’s eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building.”
—Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)
“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)
