Famous quotes containing the word rhythm:
“Who among us has not, in moments of ambition, dreamt of the miracle of a form of poetic prose, musical but without rhythm and rhyme, both supple and staccato enough to adapt itself to the lyrical movements of our souls, the undulating movements of our reveries, and the convulsive movements of our consciences? This obsessive ideal springs above all from frequent contact with enormous cities, from the junction of their innumerable connections.”
—Charles Baudelaire (18211867)
“There are those who dance to the rhythm that is played to them, those who only dance to their own rhythm, and those who dont dance at all.”
—José Bergamín (18951983)
“Great is the art,
Great be the manners, of the bard.
He shall not his brain encumber
With the coil of rhythm and number;
But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
He shall aye climb
For his rhyme.
Pass in, pass in, the angels say,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
