Famous quotes containing the words lute and/or head:
“When the lamp is shattered,
The light in the dust lies dead;
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow’s glory is shed;
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“Someone approaches to say his life is ruined
and to fall down at your feet
and pound his head upon the sidewalk.”
