Famous quotes containing the word composition:

    “I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
