Famous quotes containing the words lute and/or olson:

    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)

    Beware the dead. And hail them. They teach you drunkenness.
    You have your own place to drink. Hail and beware them, when they come.
    —Charles Olson (1910–1970)
