Song Originally Recorded

Famous quotes containing the words song, originally and/or recorded:

    Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 2:5.

    Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.
    Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
