Tune

Famous quotes containing the word tune:

    The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne
    Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold;
    Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
    The winds were love-sick with them. The oars were silver,
    Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
    The water which they beat to follow faster,
    As amorous of their strokes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Hortensio. Madam, my instrument’s in tune.
    Bianca. Let’s hear. O fie, the treble jars.
    Lucentio. Spit in the hole, man, and tune again.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Refuse them!
    If we too miss out, don’t create our lives,
    invent or deeds, do them, dance
    a tune with our own feet,
    we shall thirst in Hades,
    in the blood of our children.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
