Official Sung Verse

Famous quotes containing the words official, sung and/or verse:

    I know one husband and wife who, whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage, were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.
    Vera Brittain (1893–1970)

    I smiled at the speech you spoke,
    At your judgement that I heard:
    But I have not often smiled
    Since then, nor questioned since,
    Nor cared for corn-flowers wild,
    Nor sung with the singing bird.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Free verse leaves out the meter and makes up
    For the deficiency by church intoning.
    Free verse, so called, is really cherished prose....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
