Famous quotes containing the words gospel, vocal and/or performance:
“A good man was ther of religioun,
And was a poure persoun of a toun,
But riche he was of hooly thoght and werk.

That Cristes gospel trewely wolde preche.
His parisshens devoutly wolde he teche.”

The world in tune,
A spirit-voice,
And vocal joys,
Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.”

“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
