Sounds

Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    The comedy of hollow sounds derives
    From truth and not from satire on our lives.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    To me no profitable speech sounds ill.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    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)
