Von Stade Sings

Famous quotes containing the words von and/or sings:

    By the artist’s seizing any one object from nature, that object no longer is part of nature. One can go so far as to say that the artist creates the object in that very moment by emphasizing its significant, characteristic, and interesting aspects or, rather, by adding the higher values.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Now he sings of Jacky Horner,
    Sitting in the chimney corner,
    Eating of a Christmas pie,
    Putting in his thumb, O fie!
    Putting in, O fie! his thumb,
    Pulling out, O strange, a plum.
    Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
