Musical Elements

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or elements:

    I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
    When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
    With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
    Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
    The skies, the fountains, every region near
    Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
    So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The three great elements of modern civilization, gunpowder, printing, and the Protestant religion.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
