Rhythmic Structure

Famous quotes containing the words rhythmic and/or structure:

    “O birds, your perfect virtues bring,
    Your song, your forms, your rhythmic flight,
    Your manners for your heart’s delight,
    Nestle in hedge, or barn, or roof,
    Here weave your chamber weather-proof,
    Forgive our harms, and condescend
    To man, as to a lubber friend,
    And, generous, teach his awkward race
    Courage, and probity, and grace!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “For the structure that we raise,
    Time is with materials filled;
    Our to-days and yesterdays
    Are the blocks with which we build.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
