Famous quotes containing the word harmonious:
“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow,
The world should listen then, as I am listening now.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“O make harmonious mix of voice and string
To him by whom the skies with clouds are lin’d;
By whom the rain, from clouds to drop assign’d,
Supples the clods of summer-scorched fields,”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXLVII (Paraphrased by The Countess of Pembroke)
