Chord Length

Famous quotes containing the words chord and/or length:

    “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)

    “A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
    That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.”
