“By shallow rivers to whose falls / Melodious birds sing madrigals.”
Christopher Marlowe
“In the hexameter rises the fountain's silvery column; / In the pentameter aye falling in melody back.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Life's song is sung by many voices. The words written in overlapping verse. The melody it's power,transcending all barriers. Emotion, carried on notes, played by many hands Each of us carry the words inside. We were born knowing them.”
Jill Hanna
“I get to sing the melody part.”
Collin Lapp
“Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has not reached its goal. A parable.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous”
Yehudi Menuhin
“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.”
Sun Tzu
