Singing Gallery

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or gallery:

    My mother had a maid called Barbary;
    She was in love, and he she loved proved mad,
    And did forsake her. She had a song of “Willow,”
    An old thing ‘twas, but it expressed her fortune,
    And she died singing it. That song tonight
    Will not go from my mind.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
