Speaker Died

Famous quotes containing the words speaker and/or died:

“Good as is discourse, silence is better, and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought betwixt the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Yet
Ere the season died a-cold
Borne upon a zephyr’s shoulder
Irose through the aureate sky”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
