Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    ‘Tis the gift to be simple ‘tis the gift to be free

    What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
    Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
    To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
    Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
    He who of those delights can judge, and spare
    To interpose them oft, is not unwise.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
