Rhythmic Modes

Famous quotes containing the words rhythmic and/or modes:

“O birds, your perfect virtues bring,
Your song, your forms, your rhythmic flight,
Your manners for your heart’s delight,
Nestle in hedge, or barn, or roof,
Here weave your chamber weather-proof,
Forgive our harms, and condescend
To man, as to a lubber friend,
And, generous, teach his awkward race
Courage, and probity, and grace!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
