Song Played

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or played:

“The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth’s old and weary cry.”

“They played the eloquent tum-tum,
And lived on scalps served up in rum—
The only sauce they knew.”
