Commonly Sung

Famous quotes containing the words commonly and/or sung:

    What I admire most in any man is a serene spirit, a steady freedom from moral indignation, and all-embracing tolerance—in brief, what is commonly called sportsmanship.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    I smiled at the speech you spoke,
    At your judgement that I heard:
    But I have not often smiled
    Since then, nor questioned since,
    Nor cared for corn-flowers wild,
    Nor sung with the singing bird.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
