Famous quotes containing the word song:

    Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 2:5.

    There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    I am black and beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
    Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 1:5.
