Note Syllables

Famous quotes containing the words note and/or syllables:

    “Is whispering nothing?
    Is leaning cheek to cheek? Is meeting noses?
    Kissing with inside lip? Stopping the career
    Of laughter with a sigh?—a note infallible
    Of breaking honesty.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I remember the neckcurls, limp and damp as tendrils;
    And her quick look, a sidelong pickerel smile;
    And how, once startled into talk, the light syllables leaped for
    her.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
