Sacred Concerts

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or concerts:

    Such sacred Treasures are the Limbs of Boys
    In which a Soul doth dwell:
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
