Famous quotes containing the words sung and/or today:
“I smiled at the speech you spoke,
At your judgement that I heard:
But I have not often smiled
Since then, nor questioned since,
Nor cared for corn-flowers wild,
Nor sung with the singing bird.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (18301894)
“The late PrĂ©sident de Montesquieu told me that he knew how to be blindhe had been so for such a long timebut I swear that I do not know how to be deaf: I cannot get used to it, and I am as humiliated and distressed by it today as I was during the first week. No philosophy in the world can palliate deafness.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
