Famous quotes containing the word song:

    Do you hear the wind? It’s not dying,
    It’s singing, weaving a song about the president saluting the trust,
    The past in each of us....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    but you are not deaf,
    you pick out
    your own song from the uproar
    line by line,
    and at last throw back
    your head and sing it.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
