Musical Play

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or play:

“That vast moth-eaten musical brocade
Created to pretend we never die ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Sometimes we sailed as gently and steadily as the clouds overhead, watching the receding shores and the motions of our sail; the play of its pulse so like our own lives, so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labored hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective; now bending to some generous impulse of the breeze, and then fluttering and flapping with a kind of human suspense.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
