Fourth Chords

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or chords:

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    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)
