Voice

Famous quotes containing the word voice:

“Letters to absence can a voice impart,
And lend a tongue when distance gags the heart.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties;
Make even the trestles to shake the dead, where they lie awaiting
the hearses,
So strong you thump, O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“That woman’s days were spent
In ignorant good-will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
