Sings

Famous quotes containing the word sings:

“Drive the women from the bed just as you drove them from the choir; a eunuch sings in Rome, and the priests masturbate.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“That’s the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity to history, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.”
