Famous quotes containing the words lute and/or music:
“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)
“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”
