Famous quotes containing the words chord and/or buttons:
“Love took up the glass of Time, and turned it in his glowing hands;
Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.
Love took up the harp of Life, and smote on all the chords with
might;
Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“With crayons the child draws a rigid house
and a winding pathway. Then the child
puts in a man with buttons like tears”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
