Famous quotes containing the words throat and/or singing:

    “In church your grandsire cut his throat;
    To do the job too long he tarried:
    He should have had my hearty vote
    To cut his throat before he married.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “My mother had a maid called Barbary;
    She was in love, and he she loved proved mad,
    And did forsake her. She had a song of “Willow,”
    An old thing ‘twas, but it expressed her fortune,
    And she died singing it. That song tonight
    Will not go from my mind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
