Sound

Famous quotes containing the word sound:

“The hills are alive with the sound of music, with songs they have sung for a thousand years.”

“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“As far as I’m concerned, “whom” is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
