Lost Chord

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or chord:

    Dear friend,
    I will have to sink with hundreds of others
    on a dumbwaiter into hell.
    I will be a light thing.
    I will enter death
    like someone’s lost optical lens.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Love took up the glass of Time, and turned it in his glowing hands;
    Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.
    Love took up the harp of Life, and smote on all the chords with
    might;
    Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
