Famous quotes containing the words renaissance, music and/or late:

    “People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “I defied the machinery to make me its slave. Its incessant discords could not drown the music of my thoughts if I would let them fly high enough.”
    —Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    “Therefore with idle hands and head I sit
    In late December before the fire’s daze
    Punished by crimes of which I would be quit.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
