John Philip Sousa - Music

Famous quotes containing the word music:

“For I have learned
To look on nature, not as in the hour
Of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes
The still, sad music of humanity.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”

“O I shall hear skull skull,
Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”
