Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Morning work! By the blushes of Aurora and the music of Memnon, what should be man’s morning work in this world?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A woman drew her long black hair out tight
    And fiddled whisper music on those strings
    And bats with baby faces in the violet light
    Whistled, and beat their wings
    And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
