Singing Chant

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or chant:

    “Instead of singing like the birds, I silently smiled at my incessant good fortune.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “With the holders holding my hand nearing the call of the bird,
    Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well,
    For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and
    lands—and this for his dear sake,
    Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
    There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
