Famous quotes containing the words lord, melody and/or sings:
“Be lord of a day, through wisdom and justice, and you can put up your history books.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“That’s the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
