Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

Was once a child who among beasts has lain—
‘Still do I love, still shed my innocent light, my Blood, for thee.’”

Was Nothing from Eternity,
Did little think such Joys as Ear and Tongue

Such Sounds to hear, such Hands to feel, such Feet,
Such Eyes and Objects, on the Ground to meet.”
