Famous quotes containing the words art and/or songs:
“The art of acting presupposes three phases: understanding a part, intuiting a part, and contemplating the essence of a part.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“O women, kneeling by your altar-rails long hence,
When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer,
And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air
And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense;
Bend down and pray for all that sin I wove in song....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
