Famous quotes containing the words melody and/or line:
“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 (19101986)
“I said: A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moments thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
