Alternate Nights Performance

Famous quotes containing the words alternate, nights and/or performance:

“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)

“As for the nights I warn you the nights are dangerous
The wind changes at night and the dreams come

It is very cold
there are strange stars near Arcturus

Voices are crying an unknown name in the sky”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

“Still be kind,
And eke out our performance with your mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
