Sounds

Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    If there is a man white as marble
    Sits in a wood, in the greenest part,
    Brooding sounds of the images of death,
    So there is a man in black space
    Sits in nothing that we know,
    Brooding sounds of river noises....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I suppose any note, no matter how sour, sounds like a song if you hold onto it long enough.
    Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)

    For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
