Singing Voice

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or voice:

“Instead of singing like the birds, I silently smiled at my incessant good fortune.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread—
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger and dirt
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
She sang the “Song of the Shirt.””
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
