Musical Play

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or play:

“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)

“our Saviour asked his dear mother
If he could play at ball.”
—Unknown. The Bitter Withy (l. 3–4)
