Voices

Famous quotes containing the word voices:

“There are these sudden mobs of men,
These sudden clouds of faces and arms,
An immense suppression, freed,
These voices crying without knowing for what,
Except to be happy, without knowing how,
Imposing forms they cannot describe,
Requiring order beyond their speech.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“When the voices of children are heard on the green
And laughing is heard on the hill,
My heart is at rest within my breast
And everything else is still.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Already the new-born children interpret love
In the voices of mothers.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
