Famous quotes containing the words white and/or sands:

    Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
    The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
    For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
    Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,
    Out of the mocking-bird’s throat, the musical shuttle,
    Out of the Ninth-month midnight,
    Over the sterile sands and the fields beyond, where the child
    leaving his bed wandered alone, bareheaded, barefoot
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
