Famous quotes containing the words throat and/or singing:

    “She by my side
    Stared at the Moon; and then I knew he knew.
    And then he smiled at her; to him ‘twas funny—
    Her calm steel eyes, her earth-old throat of honey!”

    “Well, something for a snowstorm to have shown
    The country’s singing strength thus brought together,
    That though repressed and moody with the weather
    Was nonetheless there ready to be freed
    And sing the wild flowers up from root and seed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
