English Song Originally

Famous quotes containing the words english, song and/or originally:

    I don’t wish to give offense when I suggest that this country should select a king, or even a queen, rather than a president. One isn’t that quick to shoot a king or a queen—the majesty of royalty, you see.
    David Webb Peoples, screenwriter. English Bob (Richard Harris)

    Lest all the song notes
    pause and break
    across a blood-stained throat
    gone songless,
    turn back.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
