Sound Wave

Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or wave:

“All sound heard at the greatest possible distance produces one and the same effect, a vibration of the universal lyre, just as the intervening atmosphere makes a distant ridge of earth interesting to our eyes by the azure tint it imparts to it.”

“I hear
the tide turning. Last
eager wave over-
taken and pulled back
by first wave of the ebb.”
