Subject: RE: Proverb about singing From: Chocolate Pi Date: 08 May 00 - 09:41 PM Mrrzy: Emma Goldman, turn-of-the century American (born in Russia, deported from the US several times) feminist and anarchist. more quotations: various people quoted as saying something along the lines of "give me the making of a country's songs and I will control the making of its laws" (isn't this the epigraph in "Songs that Changed the World"?) Anything too silly to be spoken can be sung (Voltaire or Beaumarchais or someone; quoted by Shaw in Man and Superman) "All things shall perish from under the sky Music alone shall live, music alone shall live, music alone shall live Never to die" "A damsel with a dulcimer In a vision onde I saw: It was an Abyssinian maid And on her dulcimer she played, Singing of Mount Abora. Could I revive within me Her symphony and song, To such a deep delight 'twould win me That with music loud and long, I would build that dome in air, That sunny dome! those caves of ice!" Coleridge, Kubla Khan "Now shall my inward joys arise and burst into a song." Africa, Sacred Harp 178 Chocolate Pi |

Subject: RE: Proverb about singing From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 08 May 00 - 08:22 PM Couple for ye to ponder on:
Every time she (Edith Piaf) sings you have the feeling she's wrenching her soul from her body for the last time. Jean Cocteau
For me, singing is a way of escaping. it's another world. I'm no longer on earth.
Only when singing did I feel loved. Maria Callas
It is the best of all trades, to make songs, and the second best to sing them. |
