Musical Signs

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or signs:

    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)

    Cows wandered through the streets.... Vegetables grew chiefly in cans, and stream-beds and caƱons glittered with these omnipresent signs of civilization.
    —Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
