Famous quotes containing the words throat and/or singing:

    She by my side
    Stared at the Moon; and then I knew he knew.
    And then he smiled at her; to him ‘twas funny—
    Her calm steel eyes, her earth-old throat of honey!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    ... to a poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds.
    Sharon Olds (b. 1942)
