D. H. Lawrence Quotes About Singing

Quotes about: Singing

• Brute force crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning it was not a Word, but a chirrup.

• Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
  Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
  A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
  And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she
  sings.

  D. H. Lawrence
