Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or songs:
“Such sacred Treasures are the Limbs of Boys
In which a Soul doth dwell:”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
