False Vocal Folds

Famous quotes containing the words false, vocal and/or folds:

    That author who draws a character, even though to common view incongruous in its parts, as the flying-squirrel, and, at different periods, as much at variance with itself as the caterpillar is with the butterfly into which it changes, may yet, in so doing, be not false but faithful to facts.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Prayer is
    The world in tune,
    A spirit-voice,
    And vocal joys,
    Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    The rare original heartsblood goes,
    Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows

    In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
