Famous quotes containing the word sings:
“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
“She sings as the moon sings:
I am I, am I;
The greater grows my lift
The further that I fly.
All creation shivers
With that sweet cry.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl:
Tu-whit, tu-whoo!
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
