High Notes

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or notes:

    “We do not prove the existence of the poem.
    It is something seen and known in lesser poems.
    It is the huge, high harmony that sounds
    A little and a little, suddenly,
    By means of a separate sense. It is and it
    Is not and, therefore, is.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
