Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or frame:

    “and the deaf soul
    struggles, strains forward, to lip-read what it needs:
    and something is said, quickly,
    in words of cloud-shadows moving and
    the unmoving turn of the road, something
    not quite caught ...”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “From Harmony, from heavenly Harmony
    This universal Frame began:
    From Harmony to Harmony
    Through all the Compass of the Notes it ran,
    The Diapason closing full in Man.”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)
