Winds Destroyed

Famous quotes containing the words winds and/or destroyed:

“The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne
Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them. The oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven quartet.”
—Witold Lutoslawski (b. 1913)
