Famous quotes containing the words original and/or song:
“Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks. Language is the mark, the sign, not of his fall but of his original innocence. Through the Word we may regain the lost kingdom and recover powers we possessed in the far-distant past.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Now that you are laid out,
useless as a blind dog,
now that you no longer lurk,
the song rings in my head.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
