Famous quotes containing the word singing:

    “Well, something for a snowstorm to have shown
    The country’s singing strength thus brought together,
    That though repressed and moody with the weather
    Was nonetheless there ready to be freed
    And sing the wild flowers up from root and seed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
